Ten years after his only solo show in an Italian institution, Tino Sehgal - one of the most important and influential contemporary artists - returns to Italy with a solo exhibition dedicated to him and specially designed by him for Track 1 of OGR.
For the large spaces of OGR Sehgal has created a complex choreography involving the participation of more than fifty interpreters, conceived as one big movement in continuous change during the course of the week. A series of specific "situations" originate from what Sehgal defines a "swarm" of bodies and from a choreography that presents movements designed specifically for this occasion. In this presentation the individual works of the artist - considered as discrete entities that can be separated from each other and from the process of their production - become scenes or moments, elements that take shape temporarily in a game of encounters that respond to specific circumstances such as the number of viewers, their way of interacting, or the moment of the day when these meetings take place.
In the spaces once dedicated to "heavy" production, an expression of the first industrial revolution, Sehgal's work suggests new forms of "light" production based only on the transformation of behavior, not materials. Through these "situations", Sehgal starts a series of meetings and relationships to form new temporary communities that reflect the one in the spaces of OGR. In doing so, Sehgal aims at overcoming the idea of "separation" on which the modern notion of a work of art is based and on which Western thought itself is based: modes of separation that take shape in the very concept of the individual and are nourished in the modern idea of the autonomy of the work of art.
