MALAGA.- En Face, presented by the Contemporary Art Center of Málaga, is the first individual exhibition of the work of Gavin Turk to be held in Spain. The exhibition consists of a group of 72 clay busts resulting from an interactive performance in which a group of participants manipulated the still wet clay in order to transform it into a Surrealist “Exquisite Corpse.” The exhibition highlights Turk’s interest in questioning the role of the contemporary artist and of art in general and its viewers.
