This event has ended.
MULHERIN presents Tie-Break, by Tibi Tibi Neuspiel and Geoffrey Pugen.
ESPN called it “the most riveting episode in the sport’s history.”
The Tie-break is a collaborative project by the artists Tibi Tibi Neuspiel and Geoffrey Pugen. The first critically acclaimed installment of this project took place in the financial district at Nuit Blanche Toronto, 2011. Throughout the night the artist performed 12 consecutive reenactments of the legendary 1980 Wimbledon fourth set tie-break between Björn Borg and John McEnroe.
In the gallery, both the history and performance is transformed into art objects ranging from photography, video and sculpture. The aesthetic qualities of the bygone era of tennis serves as a starting point through which the perception of the game is altered.
