TINO SEHGAL
born 1976 in London lives and works in Berlin
Tino Sehgal’s works apply an interpretation protocol to a series of contextualised actions that leave no trace and generate no documentation. These works seem the realisation of acts taking place at the frontiers of the strange and the perceptible, acts very slightly discrepant with our normal expectations of communication and offering a global challenge to the system of production, recognition and transmission of art. The work chosen for the 2007 Biennial involves the museum and exhibition economies and their relationship with the public.
