Tino Sehgal presented a playful exchange between different masters of their craft.
A new work by Tino Sehgal premiered at the National Football Museum and the Whitworth as part of MIF23.
Known for artworks composed using exclusively the human body, voice and social interaction, Tino has exhibited his work at the world’s biggest galleries – from New York’s Guggenheim to London’s Tate Modern , Paris’ Palais de Tok︎yo and Hong Kong’s Tai Kwun.
In This entry, Sehgal brought together a group of highly skilled people from very different fields – a footballer, violinist, cyclist and a singer/dancer. Made with the involvement of Juan Mata, This entry was conceived as a playful exchange that communicates across different worlds.
Tino Sehgal creates installations k︎nown as “constructed situations” – drawing on his studies in political economy in Berlin and dance at the Folk︎wang University of the Arts in Essen, Germany. His work as an artist focuses on the gestures and subtleties of social encounters, valuing participation and interaction over material objects.
For MIF23, Tino connected the worlds of art and football through This entry, the first work in the The Trequartista – Art and Football United series which continues in the 2025 edition of Manchester International Festival. Co-Curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, Juan Mata and Josh Willdigg, The Trequartista – Art and Football United teams artists with footballers, inviting them into creative play.

This entry feels like true affinity: a dancer, an artistic cyclist, a footballer and a performer who all make meaning through their bodies, and stretch their physical capabilities in order to do something new in the world.
ArtReview
-
A belief in the transformative power of art unites Reid’s sensational autobiographical work and Sehgal’s meditation on the grace of football.
The Guardian
-
Footballs and the bicycle, typically out of place in a gallery setting, transform from quotidian objects into surrealist instruments as performers use them to create unusual shapes and acts that blend colloquialism with refinement.
