Tate Worlds: Soul of the Soulless City
New York in the 1920s was a bustling and fast-changing place. Its emerging skyscrapers and railways epitomised the dynamism of the modern metropolis, inspiring British artist Christopher Nevinson to paint his Futurist-style painting Soul of the Soulless City in 1920. On entering the Tate Worlds map, you will board a train taking you past some of those landmarks that Nevinson would have seen, before you roller-coast into the future as the skyscrapers go up and up. The sights and sounds of the roaring twenties will accompany your journey as you build a skyscraper, join construction workers for a dangerous sky-high lunch, and race to catch a movie.
Tate Worlds is a collaboration with The Common People: Adam Clarke, Lead Artist and Producer, with Map maker: Dragnoz and Minecraft builders: Kupo, Featherblade and Tewkesape.
