Tania Bruguera to Create 2018 Hyundai Commission for Tate Modern's Turbine Hall
Tania Bruguera will present a new installation in Tate Modern's Turbine Hall in October 2018. The Cuban performance artist, recognized for politically engaged works, previously staged Tatlin's Whisper #5 at the museum in 2008, featuring mounted police officers employing crowd control methods. That piece was last performed in 2016. Hyundai sponsors the annual Turbine Hall commission, which recently featured Superflex in 2017, Philippe Parreno in 2016, and Abraham Cruzvillegas in 2015. Specific details about Bruguera's upcoming project remain undisclosed. The Guardian reported this announcement on February 21, 2018.
