A national presence
Located in London, Tate Britain is one of the family of four Tate galleries which display selections from the Tate Collection. The other three galleries are Tate Modern, also in London, Tate Liverpool and Tate St Ives, in Cornwall. The entire Tate Collection is available online.
From Tudor times to the dawn of technology & beyond
Tate Britain is the world centre for the understanding and enjoyment of British art and works actively to promote interest in British art internationally. The displays at Tate Britain call on the greatest collection of British art in the world to present an unrivalled picture of the development of art in Britain from the time of the Tudor monarchs in the sixteenth century, to the present day!

Click here to read about digital footage which was shot on a standard digital camcorder using the night vision setting. The footage was sent to Dennis Diamond at Video D in New York who processed the footage using a computer editing system called Avid, which allows you to apply colour filters which cycle through the spectrum of red, green and blue in a sequence. In addition to the colour shift, the original material is also manipulated, by turning it upside down and sideways – the ’flip, flop and flip/flop’ referred to in the title of the work.
