Tonight, Beaconsfield arts collective transform the Tate Britain into an airport terminal featuring interactive events by a host of artists. The happenings recall the controlled-yet-surreal experiences of these strange and transitory places. Liz Murray's beauty zone Hairport offers art-themed makeovers; Susannah Hewlett provides bespoke lift rides between floors; Bob and Roberta Smith's Apathy Band pays homage to ambient music such as Brian Eno's Music for Airports; and Terminal Disco provide more rousing beats. The night also includes the obligatory VIP lounge and the not-so-obligatory monkeys on litter patrol.
