For the fifth and final Focus Week i thought what better way to make the most of the gorgeous weather and venture into London and Look at Public Spaces and the performances and art that occupies them.
To Start with i went to the Tate Modern where a lot of work is under way to create a series of giant graffiti style murals on the walls of London's Tate Modern gallery for its summer season.
The works, which will adorn the river-facing wall of the building, will be created by six artists including Blu, who is interested in death.
The artworks will be displayed for three months from 23 May.
A Tate spokesman said a protective coating would be placed on the wall to avoid damage when they are removed.
Other street artists involved in the project include JR from France, renowned for putting photographs of people from deprived areas of Paris onto walls in the city's affluent districts.
Sixart from Barcelona and Brazilian twin brothers Otavio and Gustavo Pandolfo will also submit ideas for the wall art.
The murals are expected to measure 15 meters by 12 meters, and will decorate the Turbine High Wall of the building, a former power station on the south bank of the Thames.
