15 February - 2 May 1999
When shown at the Tate Gallery (now Tate Britain) at Millbank,
Hirst had another different space to contend with. This time the
medicine cabinets numbered sixteen, two of which were closed; and
the apothecary bottles were arranged in a slightly different order:
Earth (green), Air (yellow), Fire (red), Water (blue). The artist
felt that the rats had not worked in the Dallas exhibition so he
didn't include them in the Tate installation. Since there were no
windows to allow flies through, as in New York, he decided that
this time the visitors would metaphorically 'act as the flies'.
