In 2015 the Stedelijk presents the first major survey of the German/British artist Tino Sehgal. The overview unfolds in 12 months and 16 chapters. The Stedelijk Museum will present the live work of this radical artist nonstop for 365 days, from opening to closing time.
About
Conceived as a consecutive series of twelve presentations, the exhibition features different work or 'situation' from Sehgal’s oeuvre each month, enacted in a different gallery space.
The exhibitions knows a varied 'scenography'. On January 1st, the project started with Instead of allowing some thing to rise up to your face dancing bruce and dan and other things (2000) from the Stedelijk collection.
From June 22 until July 31, 2015 the Stedelijk presents the next chapter of Tino Sehgal's yearlong survey: Yet untitled (2013). The work can be encountered at the first floor of the historic building.
Yet untitled was first shown at the Venice Biennal in 2013. For this work, Sehgal received the Golden Lion, one of the most prestigious contemporary art awards.
A Year at the Stedelijk: Tino Sehgal is not only a prelude to a fresh approach to using the building under the new directorship but also an innovative re-envisioning of the exhibition as phenomenon.
The exhibition is curated by Beatrix Ruf and Martijn van Nieuwenhuyzen.
