This Situation. The gallery is occupied by a group of six 'participants' or 'interpreters'
The opportunity to experience Sehgal's innovative approach to art, in which he responds to and engages with gallery visitors through the use of conversation, sound and movement. Originally conceived in 2007, This Situation has toured globally with the support of the Goethe-Institut. Sehgal studied both political economics and choreography, working in dance before focusing on his 'constructed situations'. In this most recent version of This Situation at IMMA, the gallery is occupied by a group of six 'participants' or 'interpreters' whose choreographed actions generate a discussion of cultural, economic and philosophical issues. Revealed only as experiences in the time and space they occupy, his works exist for those who encounter them and in their memories, but not as physical objects. Curated by Rachael Thomas and Georgie Thompson.
