Anthea Hamilton, one of four artists nominated for the 2016 Turner Prize, has transformed the Duveen Galleries into a giant stage for a solo performer 'The Squash' who will inhabit the gallery every day for more than six months. The entire length of the floor has been tiled in domestic-scale white tiles and structures holding sculptures from Tate's collection. Each morning the performer selects an outfit from a selection of seven elaborate costumes, each inspired by different kinds of squashes or pumpkins. Each element of The Squash has evolved from a photograph Hamilton found in a book several years ago. This showed a person dressed as a vegetable lying among vines. As she has lost the original source of the image we are left to imagine its history and intention. The artist brings together tiles, structures and costumes, inviting the performer to explore their own interpretation of the image.--Tate website.
