Ken Okiishi exhibits alongside Dara Birnbaum’s landmark installation PM Magazine (1982) and recent works by Luther Price, James Richards, Hito Steyerl, and The Otolith Group in collaboration with Chris Marker. The exhibition is comprised primarily of recent acquisitions by the Department of Media and Performance Art that appropriate and manipulate images and footage drawn from electronic media. While the cut signifies collage and montage, foundational artistic strategies of the 20th century, the swipe suggests a 21st century condition in which images have moved off the screen, dispersed at the flick of a finger into almost every corner of daily life.
Organised by Stuart Corner, Chief Curator, with Erica Papernik, Assistant Curator, and Leora Morinis, Curatorial Assistant, Department of Media and Performance Art.
