Summary
  1. American artist Doug Aitken (born 1968) is internationally recognised for his ambitious practice that incorporates objects, installations, photographs and vast, multi-screen environments that envelop viewers within a kaleidoscope of moving imagery and sound. Based in Los Angeles, Aitken has realised museum projects around the world, as well as monumental interventions within the natural landscape and below the ocean's surface. Exhibition highlights include Sonic Fountain II (2013/2015), a large-scale sound installation built into a rocky, earthen terrain situated within the gallery. NEW ERA (2018), an immersive video installation inspired by the history of mobile phone technology and its pioneer, the American engineer Martin Cooper, reflects on the power of communications technology as it unites and dislocates us. One of Aitken's largest moving image installations to date, SONG 1 (2012) features varied renditions of a popular song performed by ordinary people and professional performers, interspersed with urban and digital imagery on a constant cycle of play-and-repeat. Aitken's interest in light, reflection and multiplication is extended through his sculptures that incorporate language and text, cut from mirror, or rendered in neon.
