This looks worth checking out...

Friday, May 14: 10 am - midnight
Saturday, May 15: 10 am - midnight
Sunday, May 16: 10 am - 6 pm

To celebrate Tate Modern's 10th anniversary, the gallery will host No
Soul For Sale – A Festival of Independents. For this free arts
festival, Tate Modern is inviting 70 of the world's most innovative
independent art spaces to take over the Turbine Hall. The festival
will fill the iconic space with an eclectic mix of cutting-edge arts
events, performances, music and film on 14-16 May 2010.

No Soul For Sale is a festival that brings together the most exciting
non-profit centres, alternative institutions, artists' collectives and
underground enterprises from around the world. The participants are
encouraged to show whatever they choose, be it art, performance,
video, publications, or simply themselves. Neither a fair nor an
exhibition, No Soul For Sale is a convention of individuals and groups
who devote their energies to art they believe in, beyond the limits of
the market and other logistical constraints – it is a celebration of
the independent forces that animate contemporary art. The festival is
an exercise in coexistence: organisations exhibit alongside one
another without partitions or walls, creating a pop-up art village.

The gallery will stay open until midnight on Friday 14 and Saturday 15
May for free late night performances by artists and musicians

2009 at X initiative in the former Dia Center for the Arts in New
York.
