    Visited the Tate in St. Ives in October 2007 with a group of fellow artists. The gallery itself was an interesting space, with an unconventional exterior. The exhibition on display was not very interesting to me, it was about geometric shapes which were ok to look at. The visiting display was much more interesting, the installations were amusing and quite interactive. I did enjoy the Tate overall and would definitely visit again when I am in the area. Not all the displays were to my liking b ...
