Aernout MikThis exhibition presents a series of discrete installations by Aernout Mik, placed in both non-gallery and gallery spaces throughout the Museum.
Mik-whose work encompasses motion picture, sculpture, architecture, performance, and social commentary- interrogates the nature of reality and subverts the traditional relationship between viewer and viewed.
The exhibition includes eight time-based works, including Mik's earliest 16mm film Fluff (1996), shown on television monitors in several locations.
A newly commissioned two-screen work is projected in the corridor facing the second-floor Special Exhibition Galleries, where the six-screen Vacuum Room (2005) and the single-screen Training Ground (2006) are also on view.
Raw Footage (2006), Mik's only piece edited from actual newsreel documents, hangs in the Titus 1 Lobby Gallery, while the widescreen Osmosis (2005) floats inside the Museum's main lobby near the Fifty-fourth Street entrance.
The single-screen floor piece Middlemen (2001) greets visitors in the main lobby near the Fifty-third Street entrance.
