Summary
For '14 Rooms' curators Klaus Biesenbach and Hans Ulrich Obrist invited fourteen international artists to each activate a room, exploring the relationship between space, time, and physicality with an artwork whose "material" is the human being. Giving visitors an insight into a more performative and interactive practice, the exhibition presents a new situation in each of the fourteen rooms, engaging the viewer in a diverse series of immersive and intimate experiences. '14 Rooms' features works by artists including Marina Abramović, Allora & Calzadilla, Ed Atkins, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Damien Hirst, Joan Jonas, Laura Lima, Bruce Nauman, Otobong Santiago Sierra, and Xu Zhen. Two additional works by Jordan Wolfson and John Baldessari are placed within the spectacular architectural environment conceived by Herzog & de Meuron, Wolfson's acting as an epilogue, Baldessari's as an archival documentation. Both challenge the very notions of live art and the human experience as set out for '14 Rooms'.
