Symposium
Contribution
The performances /installations of the German artist Tino Seghal represent nowadays a huge challenge to the spectator. They are the perfect example of a work that needs some context to be understood even if the artist seems to enjoy with the ambiguity of his works. What to tell? How to introduce them? This is also a problem to all of us that are in places connected to education. This communication wants to propose some ways of do it in the total respect for the integrity of the work of the artist and assume, above all, that all that its possible to be made appears only as a rough approach of the complexity of this work. We will be centred in the last work of the artist, the one that he presented on the Turner Prize exhibition of 2013 in the city of Derry in Northern Ireland last November and December. Of course the main purpose of all this its to have an open wide vision of the relation between artists/works and the context of ambiguity/incommunicability that they produce and the usually very lazy spectator always waiting for some text on a wall or a oral communication of someone to “explain” what he/she wants to see.
