[00:01.080] --- lesson 18 Electric currents in modern art
[00:08.000] --- Listen to the tape then answer the question below.
[00:13.720] --- How might some of the exhibits have been dangerous?
[00:19.320] Modern sculpture rarely surprises us any more.
[00:23.440] The idea that modern art can only be seen in museums is mistaken.
[00:29.760] Even people who take no interest in art cannot have failed to notice examples of modern sculpture on display in public places.
[00:39.480] Strange forms stand in gardens, and outside buildings and shops.
[00:45.280] We have got quite used to them.
[00:47.960] Some so-called 'modern' pieces have been on display for nearly eighty years.
[00:54.160] In spite of this, some people -- including myself -- were surprised by a recent exhibition of modern sculpture.
[01:03.200] The first thing I saw when I entered the art gallery was a notice which said: 'Do not touch the exhibits. Some of them are dangerous!'
[01:13.280] The objects on display were pieces of moving sculpture.
[01:17.160] Oddly shaped forms that are suspended from the ceiling and move in response to a gust of wind are quite familiar to everybody.
[01:25.880] These objects, however, were different. Lined up against the wall, there were long thin wires attached to metal spheres.
[01:35.560] The spheres had been magnetized and attracted or repelled each other all the time.
[01:42.280] In the centre of the hall, there were a number of tall structures which contained coloured lights.
[01:48.840] These lights flickered continuously like traffic lights which have gone mad.
[01:54.240] Sparks were emitted from small black boxes and red lamps flashed on and off angrily.
[02:01.040] It was rather like an exhibition of prehistoric electronic equipment.
[02:06.560] These peculiar forms not only seemed designed to shock people emotionally,
[02:12.040] but to give them electric shocks as well!
