By Cathy Feeny. A conceptual artist desperately tries to complete his latest installation. It could all go horribly wrong. Read by Nicholas Boulton.

To celebrate Tate Modern's 10th anniversary in May 2010, BBC Radio 4 has commissioned three writers to respond to the art museum, in three distinctive ways.

The last in the series is a satirical monologue performed by Nicholas Boulton. He plays an un-named conceptual artist, desperately trying to complete his latest installation, Sand. It could all go horribly wrong, but for the talent and ingenuity of his young assistant, Eve.
