Tales From Tate Modern

Episode 2: The Way to Veritas

Duration: 15 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 FMLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio 4 Extra

The second in the series celebrating Tate Modern's 10th birthday is a monologue performed by Sidney Sloane, (well-known to younger listeners as a CBeebies TV presenter). He plays Anthony, an art-lover with a particular interest in one of Tate Modern's most celebrated installations: The Pack, by the German artist Joseph Beuys.

An astonishing creation, in which 24 sledges are arranged behind the open rear-door of a Volkswagen Campervan, it captivates him completely. In this story he struggles to determine the truth behind its conception.
