banner places recently decommissioned fighter planes in the incongruous setting of the duveen galleries. "i remember long sublime walks in the welsh mountains with my father, when suddenly a fighter plane would rip through the sky, and shatter everything. it was so exciting, loud and overwhelming; it would literally take our breath away. the sound would arrive from nowhere, all you would see was a shadow and then the plane was gone. at the time harrier jump jets were at the cutting edge of technology but to me they were like dinosaurs, prehistoric, from a time before words" - fiona bannerthe exhibit runs at the tate britain from june 28 through january 3rd, 2011.
