Tino Sehgal (b. 1976), who originally studied political economics and dance, crossed over to the visual arts in 2000. He achieved international renown for his groundbreaking, experimental work presented at the Venice Biennale, Documenta in Kassel, the Guggenheim Museum in New York, and Tate Modern in London. The Stedelijk has worked with Sehgal from the outset of his career, presenting his work in 2004 and 2006; the museum acquired his first work in 2005, Instead of allowing some thing to rise up to your face dancing bruce and dan and other things (2000).

For Sehgal, an artwork consists of a live encounter between artwork and viewer. Sehgal does not make objects; he creates “situations” within the museum space, in which interpreters enact choreographed actions and occasionally converse with visitors. These encounters offer the visitor a wholly unique experience of live artwork.
