TH.2058, the ninth installation in Tate Modern's enormous Turbine Hall, is French artist Dominique Gonzelz-Foerster's fable of a future London, where the rain hasn't stopped for years, and Tate Modern has become a shelter both for drenched citizens and public sculptures, which have been growing 'like tropical plants' with the excess moisture. ArtReview magazine's JJ Charlesworth spoke to Gonazlez-Foerster about the challenge of the Turbine Hall space, the function of public sculpture, and the dubious role of artist-as-prophet.
