TIM MARLOW ON...
CARSTON HÖLLER at Tate Modern
1x39’ 
Tim Marlow, television's engaging art expert, takes an exclusive look behind the scenes of Carsten Höller's Test
Site installation in Tate Modern's Turbine Hall.
The Test Site is a set of five stainless steel slides intended to propel members of the public down from the highest floors
of the Tate Modern to the very bottom. The slides invite visitors to become part of the art, move out of their comfort zone, free their senses and slide...
Somewhere between a monumental set of sculptural forms
and an oversized, rather menacing, playground, Höller descirbes his creation as "a unique experience which forces you to let go, to give up control and think, oh my God, I'm going into the abyss." Featuring a
rare interview with Höller and with unique access from the early stages through to the opening day, this film charts the progress of a fascinating art project.

TIM MARLOW ON... GILBERT AND GEORGE
1 x 63’
Gilbert & George are two people but one artist. Their
remarkable partnership is among the most consistent and long lasting in the history of art.
In this fresh and revealing film the self-proclaimed living sculptures join Tim Marlow in a walk around their 'Major
Exhibition' at Tate Modern and talk frankly about art and life.
They discuss, among other things, why they dislike religion and the countryside, how they go about photographing their
own bodily fluids, why they have always worn suits and how they have felt shunned by the art establishment and media.
This film is a fascinating insight into their world and in itself
an important document of their life and work.
