"Tino Sehgal makes art that leaves behind no trace"


Happy 2010 ! This is bound to be a year filled with lots of art making and new adventures with Mercury 20 Gallery.

Below is a worthy article that was in the New York Times Magazine this last weekend. Arthur Lubow describes Tino Sehgal as a sculptor who uses human clay! It is well worth the read if you like keeping up with what is happening on the cutting edge of art. I was especially griped with one of the lines Sehgal uses in a recent piece.


“In 1958, somebody said, ‘The income that men derive producing things of slight consequence is of great consequence.’ ”"

Don't miss reading it to stretch your understanding of sculpture.
Enjoy! Laura
