With his tripod in tow, he arrived at the Garden of Cosmic Speculation by Charles Jencks with a sense of awe for the task ahead.

"Here's a garden put together with the advice of eminent scientists and astronomers, some real thinking has gone into it. But it can be enjoyed on any level, whether you walk around contemplating the meaning of the universe or just admiring the artistry of it all. You can be bowled over by the sheer scale and imagination of the garden and you can feel at peace. It's one of the iconic gardens of the world."

Don't miss Seizure, the blue crystal wonder
If you are going to be in London over the next month and you haven't already seen it (and a second visit can't do any harm ... ), make sure you go to 157 Harper's Road SE1 and visit Roger Hiorns' installation Seizure. It was due to close, but its commissioning body Artangel has just announced it will stay in place until November 30. Don't miss it. You'll feel as if you missed Rachel Whiteread's House or Jeremy Deller's Battle of Orgreave (both, incidentally, commissioned by Artangel). Like those ephemeral works, this is destined to be remembered as one of the truly worthwhile and significant moments of modern British art.

Shibboleth

Three visitors to Tate Moderns latest art installation - a 548ft fissure (167m) that spans the length of the Turbine Hall - have fallen into it.
Shibboleth, by Doris Salcedo, starts as a hairline crack in the concrete floor and widens to a few inches in breadth and a depth of perhaps 3ft. Staff are handing out leaflets warning visitors of the dangers of getting too close. A spokeswoman said that the visitors injuries were not serious.

A crack in the floor at home would be considered a homeowner's nightmare - but this enormous opening is the Tate Modern's newest art installation.
The work begins as a hairline fracture, and then widens as it winds its way 167m across the gallerys Turbine Hall, dramatically opening the concrete floor.
The piece is by Colombian sculptor Doris Salcedo and is set to divide public opinion, not just to debate if it is art, but how it actually got there.
