A modern art playground for adults has taken over the Tate Modern
Miss running around a playground? The art world has your back.
Unveiled at London's Tate Modern on Tuesday, One Two Three Swing!is a new large-scale installation from Danish collective SUPERFLEX. It's currently taking over the Turbine Hall, and resembles a rather large, colourful adult playground.

There's "apathy," a large pendulum suspended by a 20-metre cable from the ceiling and swinging above a 770-square-metre coloured carpet inspired by British currency.

Finally, and most playfully, there's "movement," three-seated swings you can play with. Gallery visitors are encouraged to interact with the work as a group on the count of three, hence the title.

Needless to say, you'll be seeing this work heavily featured on Instagram over the coming months.

SUPERFLEX's installation is on display at the Tate Modern until Apr. 2, 2018 — and then it may run rogue through London, if you're lucky.
