Abstract

The purpose of this article is to discuss the artistic production of Tino Seghal while site-specifics performances produced in conventional museological institutions. For this we operate with the notions of site and context, taking the museum as a component of the work, not its exteriority. Two operators are observed in our reflections. This first is the activation of the museum’s public as a privileged participant of the work, within a singular museum pedagogy. The second is the control over the records of the works by the artist as part of the poetic action and, simultaneously, political action focused on complex symbolic economies, as it highlights the relationship between works, artists, mediator speeches and the public.
