Tense?

[edit]

Very nice read, looks like a great event. However, the tense seems a bit odd as it's described as existing in the present, but is then described as having been dismantled and recycled. Suggest "Horizon Field Hamburg, a large-scale art installation by British sculptor Antony Gormley, consisted of a 25 m by 50 m platform suspended by steel cables 7.5 m above the ground in the 3800 m² Hall for Contemporary Art of the Deichtorhallen in Hamburg. It was constructed...." etc. . . . dave souza, talk 11:49, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dave. Yes, it's a bit strained now - I wrote the first version when it was still up, so that's where the present tense comes from. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 12:33, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
...and fixed. However, it might be good if a native speaker goes over it, too. And yes, it was a blast. I'm not a typical connoisseur of modern art, but I really enjoyed it. I even went back for extras - that's when I snapped the pictures. --Stephan Schulz (talk) 13:02, 22 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, think I speak native so have had a go. Sounds terrific, Gormley's not been my top favourite but I've always quite liked his stuff, which tends to show an element of fun. . 13:16, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
