Couples Kiss and Make Art at Chicago MuseumBy ARTINFO
Published: November 29, 2007
"Kiss," an exhibition by British artist Tino Sehgal, involves eight-minute, choreographed routines—or "living sculptures"—that recreate famous kisses from art history: those created by Auguste Rodin, Constantin Brancusi, Edvard Munch, and Gustav Klimt, among them. Many of the participants in "Kiss," who earn $45 per shift, are real-life couples. A couple of museumgoers also tried to join in, but security guards asked them to leave. |
