TINO SEHGAL

Sunday, January 31, 2010

As a recent The New York Times Magazine article makes clear, the constructed situations of Tino Sehgal are not to be missed.

A mere four weeks into 2010, and I already discovered two mind-blowing “ballads” (yes, well: ballads is what some people like to call them); so if we keep going at this pace, we might end up with 26 awesome ballads this year, which, in turn, would make 2010 something like “The Year of The Ballad”.
