Screened within the main collection displays, Andrea Fraser's Hello! Welcome to Tate Modern (2007) is a scrambled re-mix of the museum's Multimedia Tour.
The voices of artists, curators and other commentators overlap, building into a confusing dissonance. The accompanying images open up on screen in a layered montage of twentieth-century art, history and popular culture. Fraser has made a number of works that appropriate the tools of interpretation and publicity used by museums, such as gallery talks, wall texts and audioguides.
She describes her work as a form of 'institutional analysis', explaining 'My model does remain closer to psychoanalysis… You could say that all my work is about the repressed fantasies of our field and about the desires produced and pursued through these fantasies.'
