In autumn 2016, Palais de Tokyo will present an exhibition conceived by Tino Sehgal (born in Britain in 1976, lives in Berlin). The second in a series of “carte blanche” shows begun with Philippe Parreno in 2013, Sehgal will present his works alongside works of other artists he has invited in a sprawling mise-en-scene that unfolds through the entirety of the Palais de Tokyo’s 13,000 m2 (140,000 ft2).
The exhibition, Sehgal's most extensive to date, brings together a number of new and existing pieces situated in the labyrinthine architecture of Palais de Tokyo. The works will interact with each other in ways the artist began to experiment with at Berlin’s Martin Gropius Bau in 2015 and earlier this year in Marrakech, generating a new level of complexity for Sehgal’s projects.
