Santiago Sierra’s politically charged Project 22 seeks to address social and economic inequality by bringing museum-goers in contact with minimum wage workers. The workers that Sierra hires for this installation are searching for any form of labor and come from underprivileged economic backgrounds. With a total of 28 workers who come into the gallery each day and take on the role as pillars, each helping hold up one of seven large rectangular forms, this “sculpture” directly confronts the viewers social and economic positionality within the space. Sierra creates a blatant division between the viewer and the participants. These workers that Sierra has hired are being tasked to do very labor intensive work while being paid at an unreasonably low rate simply for the viewers’ entertainment within the space. Project 22 disrupts the viewer and forcing them to think about the role they play in this system of social and economic inequality.
