- From the page: "n this exclusive interview for TateShots, Colombian artist Doris Salcedo talks about cracking open Tate Modern. Her new work Shibboleth is a long snaking fissure that runs the vast length of the Turbine Hall, as if striking to the very foundations of the museum. Something similar might be said of the concept that underpins the piece. The word â€shibboleth†refers back to an incident in the Bible, which describes how the Ephraimites, attempting to flee across the river Jordan, were stopped by their enemies, the Gileadites. As their dialect did not include a â€sh†sound, those who could not say the word â€shibboleth†were captured and executed."
