This exhibition presents a series of discrete installations by artist Aernout Mik (Dutch, born 1962) placed in non-gallery spaces throughout the Museum. Mik, whose work encompasses motion-picture-making, architecture, sculpture, sociology, and social comment, interrogates the nature of reality and subverts the traditional relationship of the viewer to what is viewed.
This exhibition will include Mik's time-based works, from his earliest film Fluff (1996), shown on television monitors, to one-screen and four-screen constructs to his wide-screen Osmosis, which may be experienced in a theatrical setting.
Mik's most recent work, which is edited from actual newsreel footage, will also be included. The artist describes the movement of crowds and groups in unsettling situations that are mysterious, unexplained, and dramatic.
