The Art of Conversation

I've been meaning to go and experience Tino Sehgals exhibit at the Guggenheim entitled, "This Progress." Apparently not a single sculpture or painting adorns the upward swirling hallways of the galleries. The art is the people; the improvised interaction between yourself and four human beings who ask you a series of evolving questions around the theme of progress. You extract as much or as little from the piece as you give. I think that's just brilliant.

I've just listened to Kurt Andersens interview with Sehgal on Studio 360. Take a listen here, and think about how you'd respond...what is progress to you?



I'll be going before it closes on March 10th and welcome any company.
