Join us for a studio visit with artist and filmmaker Doug Aitken.
Doug Aitken's work explores every medium, from sculpture, film and installations to architectural interventions. His films often explore the modern condition, and his installations create immersive cinematic experiences. He has collaborated with numerous artists and musicians and his work has been exhibited in museums around the world. In September 2016 a major survey of Aitken’s work opened at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) and subsequently traveled to the Modern Museum at Fort Worth in mid 2017. December of 2016 marked the installation one of his most ambitious projects to date, a trio of Underwater Pavilions tethered to the seabed off the coast of Catalina Island, California. This project was followed in 2017 by Mirage, a site-specific sculpture that takes the form of a home completely covered in mirrors and set in the heart of the Californian desert. Mirage has subsequently been installed in Detroit, MI (2018) and is currently on view in Gstaad, Switzerland (2019). In July 2019 he launched the project New Horizon, a multifaceted art event challenging the notion of art in the 21st-century. The project was composed of a series of live events across the state of Massachusetts, centered around a stunning reflective hot air balloon and gondola.
