Hyundai Motor and Tate Modern Announce the Opening of the Fourth Hyundai Commission by Tania Bruguera
Press release available only in original language.
- Acclaimed Cuban artist #taniabruguera unveils the fourth #Hyundai Commission
- Hyundai Motor's global commitment to bringing inspiring, creative experiences to people in all areas of the world continues
SEOUL, Oct. 1, 2018 – Hyundai Motor and #tatemodern today announced the opening of the fourth annual #Hyundai Commission created by #taniabruguera. The #Hyundai Commission invites international artists to create site-specific works for Tate Modern's iconic Turbine Hall and has been made possible through the unique 11-year #partnership between #Hyundai Motor and Tate - the longest initial commitment in Tate's history.
The acclaimed Cuban artist and activist #taniabruguera today unveils a multisensory transformation of the Turbine Hall. In response to the crisis in migration, Bruguera has instigated a series of interventions focused on the status of the neighbor and the importance of local interaction. She invites visitors to take part in symbolic actions, from revealing a hidden image beneath a heat-sensitive floor, to crying under the influence of an organic compound. She has also worked with Tate Modern’s neighbors to create direct action: institutional changes that include renaming part of the museum itself.
The work’s title is an ever-increasing figure: the number of people who migrated from one country to another last year added to the current number of migrant deaths recorded so far this year. This numeric title is indicative of the sheer scale of mass migration and the risks involved. Rather than being printed on posters or labels, this numeric title is stamped directly on visitors’ wrists.
