Tender Description

From 20 July to 26 August 2024, Tate Modern's Turbine Hall will be transformed by Oscar Murillo's new installation The flooded garden. Taking inspiration from Claude Monet's Water Lilies and the garden in which he painted them, visitors will be invited to paint water and waves onto a monumental wall of canvas, creating a layered, collaborative painting of epic proportions. This will form the first layer of the painting, over which the public's wave-like, gestural brushstrokes will be added to create 'the flooded garden'.

Tate requires a skilled scaffolding partner to assist in the delivery of this installation, providing hire, delivery, erection, dismantling and clearing of scaffolding. Installation will take place from 8 to 18 July and de-installation 27 to 31 August.
