inconsistencies

Hirschhorn seems to thrive on inconsistencies. Before the show he announced he was not going to exhibit in Switzerland any longer, but he was happy to do so at the Centre Culturel Suisse.

More importantly, he doesn’t want to call his art political, but says it is a ‘tool’ that ‘attacks’. It is here that the relevance of the work lies: Hirschhorn shows how fine the line between art and life is, and how, despite that, art can’t help trying to cross it.
