7 Works/7 Trabajos

2008

Description

Published alongside his exhibition at the Lisson Gallery in 2008, Santiago Sierra: 7 Works presents Sierra's new major works that relate to challenging projects realised in India, Mexico and Venezuela between 2005 and 2007: 21 Anthropometric Modules made from Human Faeces by the People of Sulabh International, India; Economical Study on the Skin of Caracans, Concert for a Diesel Electric Plant; Four Black Vehicles with the Engines Running inside and Art Gallery; Submission (formerly Word of Fire); Photographic Session in Tlatelolco; 1549 State Crimes.
Accompanying text discusses individual projects and larger ongoing themes that have made Sierra's work prominent: the concurrent beauty and repulsiveness of the body, the economy of means of the presentation, and the articulation of issues of power and social division into formal equations.
