Tate Modern Unveils Máret Ánne Sara Installation for 10th Annual Hyundai Commission
Tate Modern has unveiled Goavve-Geabbil, a monumental sculptural installation by Sámi artist Máret Ánne Sara, as the 10th Hyundai Commission. The work stretches the full 28-metre height of the Turbine Hall and incorporates reindeer hides bound by electrical cables, wooden poles carved with traditional earmarks, bones, sound and scent. It runs from 14 October 2025 to 6 April 2026 and responds to the former power station site by framing power as a sacred life force rooted in Indigenous science and ecological balance. The commission is supported by the extended Tate-Hyundai Motor partnership through 2036 and has drawn more than 19 million visitors since its inception.
The Signal
The installation positions Sámi knowledge systems and material practices at the centre of Tate Modern’s flagship programme, signalling institutional commitment to Indigenous perspectives on climate and resource extraction. For collectors and curators it underscores the growing institutional value placed on site-specific works that address land rights and non-Western science, while the decade-long corporate partnership provides a stable platform for ambitious commissions that shape market and curatorial attention.
