My advice to new Tate director – show us more art | Brief letters

Empty galleries | Cooking real food | Enigma of Alan Turing | DIY desperation | Futility rooms One thing that the new director of Tate could do (Jessica Morgan named new Tate director – with ‘big pay cut’ to take job, 22 July) is display a lot more of the art they have in store. There are acres of Tate Modern and (to a lesser extent) Tate Britain that are empty. No one wants a display like the Royal Academy summer exhibition. But having spent a fortune on extending Tate Modern, they could at least use it.Simon RewLondon Teaching schoolchildren to cook real food might mean they rely less on fast food and takeaways, thus reducing obesity, improving health and saving money (Letters, 22 July). I remember learning how to make beef stew and lamb hot pot and now, over 60 years later, still use the same delicious recipes.Gill ReeveLondon Alan Turing … something of an enigma then (Racy short story by Alan Turing offers glimpse of ‘playful, funny, cheeky’ side, 24 July)?David DuellDurham Pat Begg’s “destroy it yourself” problems (Letters, 23 July) struck a chord. We go for Bias (bodge it and shrug) or, if desperate, PSE (pay someone else).Jim HatleyBrighton To share and ex
