Santiago SIERRA
Santiago Sierra
Born in 1966 in Madrid (Spain)
While Sierra is critical of capitalism and the institutions which support it, he is also considered a successful artist.
He seems to be aware of this contradiction when he says, “Self-criticism makes you feel morally superior, and I give high society and high culture the mechanisms to unload their morality and their guilt”.
