Pipilotti Rist: Pour Your Body Out (7354 Cubic Meters)
November 19, 2008-February 2, 2009

The Donald B. and Catherine C. Marron Atrium, second floor

Pipilotti Rist's lush multimedia installations playfully and provocatively merge fantasy and reality. MoMA commissioned the Swiss artist to create a monumental site-specific installation that immerses the Museum's Marron Atrium in twenty-five-foot-high moving images. Visitors will be able to experience the work while walking through the space or sitting upon a sculptural seating island designed by the artist.

I remember going to see this last year, and was anyone else absolutely, inexplicably horrified? I had to run out of the atrium in full-on panic mode, bawling and just generally freaking out.

I blame the sounds, since after experiencing that I couldn't hear a low frequency noise without going through the same thing.

...am I alone on this one?

How can it not be? Its experiential. Its reactive to the white cube, transforming it. Its a very social installation. She said in the interview that she is reconciling thinking and the body. These endeavors are very contemporary to art.

this was truly one of the most moving exhibitions I've ever seen...just to be so connected in such an immediate way to the natural world, and other people, and myself, where I've been, where I find myself. It all left me breathless.

Did anyone see her "Visitor" sticker. Pretty funny...

[heyguysinternet]

this looks great. wish i could make it over there to see it!

[thefakefactory]

well done. finally an art curator asking an official artist to create something that is up to date.....many video designers have created in this past ten years a lot of videoinstallations like this one.
