Pipilotti Rist: Dwelling (Within) June 30, 2011

This second exhibition in the Gallery for New Media will center on the recent acquisition of 'All or Nothing' (alles oder nichts), 2010, an intimately scaled video sculpture by the Swiss-born artist Pipilotti Rist and the first work by the artist to be acquired by the Albright-Knox. Rist creates video installations that push imagery to its extreme, and invite viewers into a dreamlike fantasy world. In her work, Rist often uses a rich color palette, captivating imagery, and sound to give the viewer an immersive experience. This exhibition, however, brings together three works that are more intimate in scale and engage the viewer by offering a more meditative and tranquil atmosphere. 'All or Nothing' (alles oder nichts) is composed of a triptych of LCD screens mounted on the wall.
