Meet “Struggling Sehgal,” a Meme Inspired by Tino’s Pained Venice Biennale Photo-Op

By now you know that the London-born, Berlin-based performance artist Tino Sehgal received the Golden Lion at this year’s Venice Biennale for his two-person beatboxing dance piece in Massimiliano Gioni’s exhibition “The Encyclopedic Palace,” but what you may not be aware of is the hilariously pained expression that Sehgal made while receiving the prize (see above).

If you still think of Pinterest as just a place to find instructions for D.I.Y. salads in mason jars, D.I.Y. candles in mason jars, or D.I.Y. mason jar-themed weddings, think again: Visual organizations like museums, galleries, and design firms have thrown themselve into the pin-crazy world with gusto.
