Personal life
Sehgal was born in London and raised in Dsseldorf, Paris, and a town close to Stuttgart.[2] His father was born in British India, and was a member of
the Punjabi Sehgal family, but "had to flee from what is today Pakistan when he was a child";[3] his mother was "a German native and homemaker."[4]
He studied political economy, conceptual art and dance at Humboldt University, Berlin and Folkwang University of the Arts, Essen. He danced in the
company of French experimental choreographers Jrme Bel and Xavier Le Roy.[3] In 1999, Sehgal worked with the dance collective Les Ballets C. de
la B. in Ghent, Belgium, and developed a piece entitled Twenty Minutes for the Twentieth Century, a 55-minute series of movements performed naked in
twenty different dance styles, from Vaslav Nijinsky to George Balanchine to Merce Cunningham, and so forth.[2]

Career
All of Sehgal's works exist ephemerally and are documented only in the viewer's memory. The artist himself describes his works as 'constructed
situations'. His materials are the human voice, language, movement, and interaction. He resists the production of physical objects.[5] Sehgal's pieces are
choreographies that are regularly staged in museums or galleries, and continuously executed by trained individuals he refers to as interpreters[2] for the
entire duration of a show. The artwork is the constructed situation which arises between the audience and the interpreters of the piece.[6]
In This is So Contemporary (2005), museum guards surround the public and break out into a joyful, unsettling dance.[7]
Sehgals work Kiss (2007), exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, was his first work in an American museum. Presented in
association with the MCAs show "Collection Highlights," Kiss is a sculptural worktwo dancers kiss and touch, eventually resembling embracing
couples from historical works of art;[8] the work appropriates the different amorous poses in Auguste Rodin's The Kiss (1889), Constantin Brncui's The
Kiss (1908), Gustav Klimt's The Kiss (190708), Jeff Koons and La Cicciolina's Made in Heaven (199091) and various Gustave Courbet paintings
from the 1860s one after the other.[9]
In Sehgal's 2010 work This Progress at the Guggenheim Museum, New York, the artist empties Frank Lloyd Wright's famed spiral gallery of all art
work.[10] The museum visitor is met at the base of the spiral by a child, who asks a small group what they think progress is. As they begin their ascent up
the spiral ramp the visitors continue their conversation until they are met by a high school student who picks up the conversation and asks further nonsequitur questions. Further still, they are met by a young adult and lastly an older adult who finishes their ascent to the upper-most point in the
Guggenheim.[11]
For This is New a museum attendant barks out headlines from the day's paper to visitors. In This Success/This Failure (2007) young children in uniforms
attempt to play without using objects and sometimes draw visitors into their games.[1][12]
For This is Good (2001) a museum worker waves their arms and hops from one leg to the other, then states the title of the piece.[13]
For This objective of that object (2004) the visitor becomes surrounded by five people who remain with their backs to the visitors. The five chant, "The
objective of this work is to become the object of a discussion," and if the visitor does not respond they slowly sink to the ground. If the visitor says
something they begin a discussion.[14]
His most complex work, This Situation (2007), required the participation of a group of intellectuals. They occupied an otherwise empty gallery space
and interacted with each other and the audience in accordance with a set of rules and games established by the artist.[15]
For documenta XIII (2012) Sehgal orchestrated This Variation, an immersive piece that places viewers in a nearly dark gallery among some 20
performers who sing, dance, clap, hum and talk, creating "an electrifying aural-spatial experience of pure, unencumbered imagination in action".[16]
In 2012, Sehgal was the 13th artist commissioned by the Tate Modern for its annual Unilever series. The first live work in the vast space, These
associations consists solely of encounters between around 70 storytellers and visitors to the gallery.[17][18][19]

Exhibitions
Sehgal is the youngest artist to have represented Germany at the Venice Biennale (in 2005, together with Thomas Scheibitz). Sehgal had solo exhibitions
at a number of important venues including the Museum fr Moderne Kunst, Frankfurt (2007); the Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (2007, 2006,
2005); Kunsthaus Bregenz, Austria (2006), Kunstverein Hamburg (2006), Serralves Foundation, Porto (2005); Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven and
Muse des Beaux-Arts, Nantes (2004).[5]

Collections
On the sale of his work, Sehgal stipulates that there is no written set of instructions, no written receipt, no catalogue, no pictures and no perceivable
meaning.[1] The conversation that constitutes a Tino Sehgal sale consists of his talking to the buyer (usually a representative from a museum) before a
notary and witnesses, generally with about five legal stipulations of the purchase: that the work be installed only by someone whom Seh
gal himself has
authorized via training and prior collaboration; that the people enacting the piece be paid an agreed-upon minimum; that the work be shown over a
minimum period of six weeks (in order to avoid allegations of ephemerality); that the piece not be photographed; and that if the buyer resells the
concept, he does so with this same oral contract. This means that his work is not documented in any way, apart from critical reviews both admiring and
negative.[3][20][21] As of 2010, the "constructed situations" sold in editions of four to six (with Sehgal retaining an additional artists proof) at prices
between $85,000 and $145,000 apiece.[2]

Awards
Sehgal received the Bloise Prize at Art Basel, Switzerland, in 2004. In 2006, he was shortlisted for the Hugo Boss Prize, and in 2007 for the Preis der
Nationalgalerie fr Junge Kunst at the Hamburger Bahnhof in Berlin.[22] He was selected as one of four finalists for the 2013 Turner Prize for his This
Variation and These Associations exhibitions.[23]
Tino Sehgal won the Golden Lion for the best artist in the International Exhibition Il Palazzo Enciclopedico (The Encyclopedic Palace) in Venice
Biennale 2013 (Central Pavilion, Giardini)[24]
