In advance of the Tate Modern galleries reopening (planned for May 17) in London,
Beuysâ Acorns is a fresh installation representing ideas of regeneration, and is free for visitors to see outside the museum.Â
The installation of 100 oak saplings opened May 4 on the terrace outside Tate Modern. Entitled
Beuysâ Acorns, the project was started in 2007 by British artists Ackroyd & Harvey. Its latest display marks 100 years since the birth of Joseph Beuys (1921-86), the hugely influential artist and environmental activist.
Beuysâ Acorns is a living sculpture where visitors can reconnect with art after lockdown, rethink their relationship to nature, and reflect on art, activism and the climate emergency.Â
