The Unilever Series: Tino Sehgal 2012

Tino Sehgal

Tate Modern has unveiled the first live commission in The Unilever Series – These associations, created by Anglo-German artist Tino Sehgal. Tino Sehgal has risen to prominence for his innovative works which consist purely of live encounters between people, including work at the 2005 Venice Biennale and solo shows at the Guggenheim and London's ICA. Tate Modern's Turbine Hall is inhabited by an assembly of participants whose choreographed actions use movement, sound, and conversation. The Turbine Hall is occupied by the physical and vocal energy of the participants and visitors. The Unilever Series: Tino Sehgal is open until 28 October 2012.

Tino Sehgal will be in conversation at the Goethe Institut on Saturday 20 October

Welcome to his situation...

Arthur Lubow

The work of the British-born German artist Tino Sehgal exists solely as a set of choreographed gestures and spoken instructions acted out by performers in gallery settings. Often these actions directly involve visitors who witness them, as in the case of This Is Propaganda 2002, which took the form of a female attendant singing the title of his work each time someone entered the space
