Santiago Sierra Exhibitions in Mexico and France, 2004

Santiago Sierra held two exhibitions in 2004: one at Sala de Arte Publico Siqueiros and Galerie Enrique Guerrero in Mexico City from January 22 to March 14, and another at CAC Jules Verne in Brétigny-sur-Orge, France, from March 12 to May 29. The exhibitions featured his politically charged works addressing labor, exploitation, and social hierarchies. Sierra is known for using human participants in controversial performances, such as paying people for menial tasks. The Mexico City venues are part of the Instituto Nacional de Bellas Artes and a commercial gallery, respectively, while the French venue is a contemporary art center. The exhibitions were covered by artpress magazine.
