Pipilotti Rist’s hugely popular exhibition at the New Museum is a dreamland unlike anything I had experienced before. The first thing I noticed while waiting in a long line at the New Museum was the loop of Rist pushing her face against a glass pane in the front window. Once I walked in, the machine […]

The new DREAMLANDS exhibition at the Whitney is just littered with curious, multi-faceted video work, but is also a little cluttered because of it. The scope, thematically and physically, of the pieces varies dramatically, which was a lot of fun at times. I loved how Ben Coonley’s 3-D 360-degree video “Trading Futures” was experienced, as […]

My visit to the New Museum was such a memorable experience. The exhibition of Pipilotti Rist was huge and noticeable. The inclusion reflected in the exhibition room was unique, I felt part of the art. The magnificence of the light and color created a sense of comfort and also the connection with nature that made […]

Pipolotti Rist & My Barbarians Exhibition at New Museum   My expectations going into pixel forest by Rist was low. I usually do not enjoy exhibits because I am often left bored. Since my expectations were low and I didn’t expect much, I went in with an open mind. My experience was definitely a great […]

I was decidedly more delighted with the Pipilotti Rist exhibit at the New Museum than Dreamlands at the Whitney. Let’s figure out why as I type. Well, certainly, Rist is pairing the human form with that of nature, as in wilderness- ok pretty obvious, let’s move on. But within that she also touches on time […]

I really enjoyed Rist’s works. Her use of collage and capturing of movement were especially captivating and enjoyable to watch. Her exploration of natural life and technology pairs the two different forms in a seamless and beautiful way. The movement of water and the environmental interaction with the person on the 5th floor were mesmerizing […]

For this trip I started on the fifth floor and made my way down. I saw My Barbarian the Audience is Always Right first and I was really confused by what the message was. On one side there were two videos playing, one where people are on a boat chanting “suspension of beliefs” with the […]

Pipliotti Rist’s instillation created a vibrant and euphoric world of its own, one that allowed me to forget about my busy life and bask in its beauty. The visuals on all levels were mesmerizing and evoked a sense of wonderment. I was lost for a few minutes, and found myself standing in the middle of […]

The Pixel Forest is exactly what you think it is. It spans three floors in this huge piece going through her works. Going from swamp to city.  First, I was lying down and looking up seeing in a fishes view with the sounds of being under water. I find it all very indulgent. The experience of […]

For Pixel Forest, I did try to submerse myself in the video installations and drown out the crowd noise.   From what I can interpret about Pipolotti’s goals in this 3-floor exhibition is the relation of nature with the human body.  A lot of scenes of bodies of water and plants with humans in their […]
