Santiago
Sierra (born in Madrid in 1966) explores the relationship between
labour, value and capital through poetic and frequently controversial
actions. His representations of the exploitative transactions of
everyday life often involve contracting people to perform useless,
degrading or repetitive tasks. Sierra's work issues a coruscating
critique of the brutality of capitalism, using capitalism's own logic
and methods. His work touches on a range of related themes including
immigration, exclusion, separation, invisibility, exploitation, dignity,
resistance and the art market. Offering little by way of apology or
solution to the predicament of those involved, his work often presents
ethical dilemmas for spectator and art institution and implicates the
audience in the events they witness.
