Tate Faces Urgent Need for Overhaul as New Director Takes Charge

22 Temmuz 2026The Guardian

Tate is facing a critical moment as it acknowledges the need for significant change. With Jessica Morgan appointed as the new director, there are questions about whether she will truly be an agent of transformation or simply continue the status quo.
The institution's current exhibitions and its approach to historical art reveal a pressing need for a reevaluation of its mission and curation strategies.
Tate, comprising multiple museums, has been criticized for its lack of engagement with older British art and a tendency to focus on contemporary works. Recent exhibitions have faced backlash for their perceived shortcomings, highlighting a disconnect between the institution's ambitions and its execution.
The appointment of Jessica Morgan could be a pivotal moment for Tate, yet skepticism remains about her ability to break free from established norms. The institution's deep-rooted complacency and a tendency to prioritize branding over artistic integrity may hinder genuine innovation.
