annually Turbine Hall of Tate Modern installation of his show's leading contemporary artists. Traditionally, these projects are in the great room, which once housed the old electric power generators, sponsored by the UK-Netherlands company Unilever. Their work in previous years in Turbine Hall showed Ai Weiwei, Anish Kapoor, Tasita Dean, Olafur Eliasson, Louise Bourgeois, Rachel Whiteread and others. This year, the space area of ​​3400 square meters. m given artist Tino Tino Segal ideas .

Works British Tino Segal, now living in Berlin, belongs to the category art , they can not touch it or hang on the wall, someone calls these creations performances, but the artist prefers to call them "engineered situations." The project for the Turbine Hall Segal Tate employed two hundred people: this is not the actors, and ordinary people, selected on a number of studies conducted by the artist. Each of them receives 8.3 pounds per hour and can work shifts of four hours. Segal tried whenever possible to choose for your project people from different professions and social strata, although there still were many of his colleagues in the art shop. Project participants Segal "These associations," according to director Chris Tate Derkona, are a "mirror image of London in 2012." As now the custom in the British capital, an exhibition timed to the Olympic Games. It opened July 24 and runs until October 28.

As planned by Tino Segal entering the Turbine Hall visitors are drawn into a kind of Brownian motion, produced two hundred participants performance. These people are randomly moving around the room can go a step, run, sit, gather in groups to sing in unison. And any of them may come to you and talk about something personal, thus causing you to the reciprocal frankness. A man from Sri Lanka to talk about how to first set foot on British soil to start a new life, she tells of her teenage problems, and so on and so forth. And your partner can suddenly go from step to running and to continue the conversation, you have to run away with him, weaving between other visitors and participants of the turbine hall. When finished talking, he would stand aside, giving way to another who wants to meet you.

Tino Segal's idea is to get people to interact, to talk about their own emotions, to communicate the energy felt in the Hall, and invited talkers at certain moments were a single entity with visitors. For some it will be a pleasant experience, but someone will have to overcome shyness to speak with a dozen strangers.

Chris Derkon called "constructed situation" Tino Segal's "anarchic experience" and one of the most radical works ever shown in the Tate. In dealing with the energy of the crowd, it's important to take care of security. Participants urged to be cautious, to look around to make sure we did not encounter, and be prepared to change the course of time.
