("Welcome to Tate Modern’s floor show – it’s 548 foot long and is called Shibboleth" ), ''The Times'', 9 October 2007. Retrieved 12 January 2008.〕 The crack was made by opening up the floor and then inserting a cast from a Colombian rock face.〔 A Tate spokesperson said, "She’s not specifying how it’s been done. What she wants is for people to think about what’s real and what’s not."〔 Salcedo said of the work Tate Director, Sir Nicholas Serota stated, "There is a crack, there is a line, and eventually there will be a scar. It will remain as a memory of the work and also as a memorial to the issues Doris touches on." 〔 The work has gained the nickname "Doris's crack".〔"Conceptual art should be allowed to speak for itself" ), ''New Statesman'', 18 October 2007. Retrieved 13 January 2008.〕 The exhibition took place from 9 October 2007 to 6 April 2008. Following the exhibition the crack was filled in however the "scar" of the work remains visible. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Shibboleth (artwork)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
