Interactive art was a new concept when the exhibition Bodyspacemotionthings first went on show at the Tate in 1971. Created by the American artist Robert Morris, it consists of a series of beams, weights, platforms, rollers, tunnels and ramps that people can clamber all over. It closed just four days after opening, due to safety concerns over the wildly enthusiastic reaction of the audience. For The Long Weekend 2009 the exhibition has been recreated at Tate Modern using stronger, modern materials. In this film we watch the reaction of todays visitors, and speak to curators Catherine Wood and Kathy Noble about Morriss vision and influence.
@PHNXvideos maybe those visitors can sign a declaration that says they won't sue if they get hurt and that the museum is not responsible for their injuries. Try at your own risk. ;)

You call it interactive art but it was hardly because of health & safety being really worried people would sue if injured.
