For anyone who can get to London's Tate Modern this week, it's your last chance to see Doris Salcedo's marvellous contribution to the Unilever Series, Shibboleth, which will be filled in on April 7 2008.
The next artist to take up residence in the Turbine Hall will be Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster in October. She's got a hard act to follow. Salcedo's fissure running throughout the room has been one of the most popular site-specific works at the Tate, alongside Olafur Eliasson's The Weather Project (2003), Carsten Höller's Test Site (2006), Rachel Whiteread's Embankment (2005) and Anish Kapoor's Marsyas (2002).
But while we wait to see what Gonzalez-Foerster comes up with, it gives us the opportunity to ask what we'd really like to see fill the space. A Damien Hirst formaldehyde aquarium perhaps? A Jeremy Deller re-enactment of the great Heathrow Terminal 5 opening day disaster? Or maybe Franko B could swim through an actual river of blood every day to mark the 40th anniversary of Enoch Powell's speech?
Anyone have any brighter ideas?
