Summary<\/p>\n
Tino Sehgal opens his first solo exhibition in Mexico at the Museo de Arte de Zapopan
\nThe exhibition features several live works, including the seminal \u201cKiss,\u201d \u201cYet Untitled\u201d and \u201cThese Associations,\u201d a new work created for the venue<\/p>\n
Tino Sehgal\u2019s works are famously undocumented, save for the odd stray snapshot here and there. While based in sculpture, the Berlin-based artist has built a reputation around what he terms \u201cconstructed situations\u201d: fleeting encounters shared between visitors and performers; things to be experienced more than witnessed. You just have to be there.<\/p>\n
Sehgal has landed in Guadalajara for his first-ever solo show Mexico. Staged at the new Estaci\u00f3n MAZ at the Museo de Arte de Zapopan, the eponymous exhibition gives the floor to these ephemeral exchanges in warm-blooded works that toe the line between art and life.\n<\/p>\n
At the heart of the exhibition is his seminal work, \u201cKiss.\u201d The piece features two dancers, entwined, locked in a passionate kiss and, like much of Sehgal\u2019s work, doesn\u2019t immediately announce itself as art. Instead, it unfolds, unprompted, echoing each viewer\u2019s own experience of intimacy and couples throughout art history, from Rodin<\/a>, Klimt and Br\u00e2ncu\u0219i<\/a> to Gustave Courbet and Jeff Koons<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n
