Thanks for the comments! I was thinking afterwards that it wouldn't make much sense to anyone who hadn't seen the exhibition, so I went looking for pictures of the rooms in question. Haven't found any on www.tate.org.uk yet, but maybe that's because I don't have Flash working, you might have better luck.
The wall of lines is just that - a wall of the gallery covered in multicoloured lines of paint poured out of syringes at the top of the wall and let flow down. If you look at it sideways it looks as if it's swaying like a bead curtain.
The floor covered in lines is where another of the artists (Lambie, I think his name was) covered the floor in strips of sticky tape, starting round the edges of the room and converging in the centre so all the corners and alcoves and sticking-out bits in the walls create a sort of ripple effect and I'm *really* not describing this well, the baby did a better job than me :) It's very psychedelic.
Oh, and the lines the baby is chewing are on the exhibition brochure, if that wasn't obvious.
