After watching the the previous edition over and over again, Tate has finally refreshed the TateShots website. This monthly video programme with a focus on modern and contemporary art at Tate, can be downloaded from the museum’s website. The latest edition features an epic firework battle, a new commission by the Yangjiang Group entitled ‘If I knew the danger ahead, I’d have stayed well clear’ (2007). This performance was staged in Liverpool’s docks and marked the opening of Tate Liverpool’s exhibition of contemporary Chinese art that runs till June 10. The work was composed of 20.000 rockets being launched from two opposing barges, filling the sky like exotic tracer fire. Besides footage of this performance TateShots alse features an item on the current exhibition: Contemporary Art from China.
