Exhibition Description:

Swiss artist Pipilotti Rist (b. 1962) is best known for her lush multimedia installations that playfully and provocatively merge fantasy and reality. Rist will create a site-specific monumental video, sound, and sculptural installation that will immerse MoMA's atrium in moving images for the first time.

These multiple high definition projections will comprise a panorama measuring 25 feet high and 200 feet virtually surrounding the atrium, turning it into a gigantic pool of images filled with liquid volume of light and color. The show is organized by Klaus Biesenbach, Chief Curator of Media, The Museum of Modern Art.

The project is backed by corporate sponsorship provided by UBS. Further sponsorship is is provided by the Wallis Annenberg Fund for Innovation in Contemporary Art, Marie-Josée and Henry Kravis, Maja Oeri and Hans Bodenmann, Jerry I. Speyer and Katherine G. Farley, and Franz Wassmer. Additional funding will be provided by Monique Barbier-Mueller, Pro Helvetia, Arts Council of Switzerland and Enia Carpet Group AG.
