Source text - English Santiago Sierra is the king of shock art. But Adrian Searle wonders if his new show, featuring slabs made of human faeces, really hits its target.
Santiago's new sculptures are acast fro, human excrement. This dismal fact is enough to get the Mexico-based Spanish artist's latest exhibition at London's Lisson Gallery noticed. Almost everything Sierra does has been designed at some level to provoke, to upset and to attract attention. His first London show, in 2002, closed off the gallery entrance with corrugated iron; the last time he was at the Lisson, in 2004, he sprayed a number of Iraqi volunteers with quick-setting polyurethane foam.
Translation - French EXCREMENT ABSOLU
Sqntiago Sierra est le roi de "l'art choc". Mais Adrian Searle se demande si cette nouvelle exposition de Sierra, qui est composée de plaques fabriquées de matières fécales, atteint vraiment son but.
Les nouvelles sculptures de Santiago Sierra on été moulées d'excrément humain. Ce fait lamentable a suffit pour que cette dernière exposition à la galerie Lisson à Londres de l'artiste espagnol qui est basé à présent au Mexique, se fasse bien remarquée. C'est clair qu'à un certain niveau, presque toutes les créations de Sierra sont conçues avec l'objectif de provoquer, de troubler, et d'attirer de l'attention. Pour son premier show à Londres, en 2002, il a bloqué l'entrée de la galerie avec une tôle de fer ondulée et puis, la dernière fois qu'il s'est trouvé à la galerie Lisson en 2004, il s'est mis à vaporisé un nombre de bénévoles iraquiens avec de la mousse polyinsaturée d'un séchage rapide.
