What Aitken finds in these remote, deserted locations are the relics of human civilization.


Since the mid-1990s, Aitken has created installations by employing multiple screens. ''Hysteria'' (1998-2000) uses film footage from the past four decades that shows audiences at pop and rock concerts working themselves into a frenzy.<ref>[http://www.tate.org.uk/liverpool/exhibitions/remix/artists.htm Remix: Contemporary Art and Pop, 24 May to 26 August 2002] [[Tate Liverpool]].</ref> Filmed and photographed in the dusty sound stages and film sets of Bombay, the twenty-four hours screening of ''Into the Sun'' (1999) focusses on the frenetic activity of [[Bollywood]].<ref>[http://www.victoria-miro.com/exhibitions/_280/?a=2 Doug Aitken: Into the Sun, 7 October - 12 November 1999] Victoria Miro Gallery, London.</ref> ''Diamond Sea'' was presented at the 1997 [[Whitney Biennial]] and his ''Electric Earth'' installation drew international attention and earned him the International Prize at the [[Venice Biennale]] in 1999.<ref name=autogenerated1 />

===Happenings===
In October 2009, Aitken's ''Sonic Pavilion'' opened to the public. The pavilion is located in the forested hills of Brazil, at Inhotim. The ''Sonic Pavilion'' provides a communal space to listen to the sounds of the earth as they are recorded through highly sensitive microphones buried close to a mile deep into the ground and carried back into the pavilion through a number of speakers. The sound heard inside the pavilion is the amplified sound of the moving interior of the earth.<ref>[http://www.nytimes.com/2009/09/27/t-magazine/travel/27brazilw.html?_r=1 New York Times]</ref>

Doug Aitken is an American multimedia artist.

Early life and career

Doug Aitken was born in Redondo Beach, California in 1968. In 1987, he initially studied illustration at the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena before graduating in Fine Arts in 1991. Aitken has worked as a director of pop videos for, amongst others, Fatboy Slim (1997) and Interpol (2002). He currently lives and works in Venice, California, and New York.[1]

Work

Aitken’s body of work ranges from photography, sculpture, and architectural interventions, to quasi-narrative films, sound, single and multi-channel video works, and installations.[2][3] Aitken's video works have taken place in such culturally loaded sites as Jonestown in Guyana, Africa's diamond mines, and India's Bollywood.[4] The recurring themes of his works are ghost-town-like, abandoned landscapes, urban deserts, and man’s loneliness in the city resulting from the fact that human communication and interaction are influenced markedly by a desolation that comes from inhospitable places and the overabundance of information. What Aitken finds in these remote, deserted locations are the relics of human civilization.

Since the mid-1990s, Aitken has created installations by employing multiple screens. Hysteria (1998-2000) uses film footage from the past four decades that shows audiences at pop and rock concerts working themselves into a frenzy.[5] Filmed and photographed in the dusty sound stages and film sets of Bombay, the twenty-four hours screening of Into the Sun (1999) focusses on the frenetic activity of Bollywood.[6] Diamond Sea was presented at the 1997 Whitney Biennial and his Electric Earth installation drew international attention and earned him the International Prize at the Venice Biennale in 1999.[2]

Conversations

In 2006, Aitken produced Broken Screen: 26 Conversations with Doug Aitken (Distributed Art Publishers, 2006), a book of interviews with twenty-six artists who aim to explore and challenge the conventions of linear narrative. Interviews included Robert Altman, Claire Denis, Werner Herzog, Rem Koolhaas, Kenneth Anger and others.[7] Another interview project, Patterns & Repetition (2011) is a series of filmed conversations about creativity in the 21st Century in which Aitken conducts short conversations with pioneers in different artistic disciplines, including Devendra Banhart, Thomas Demand, Jack White, James Murphy, Mike Kelley, Jacques Herzog, Fischli & Weiss, Yayoi Kusama, Michael Nyman, Stephen Shore, and Dan Graham.[8]

Outdoor Film Installations

In 1998, Glass Horizon, an installation comprising a projection of a pair of eyes onto the facade of the Vienna Secession building after it had closed for the night, showcased an interest in architectural structures and in art that interacts with urban environments.[9] In 2001, Aitken’s exhibition at London’s Serpentine Gallery used the entire building for the complex installation New Ocean.[10]

In the winter of 2007, Aitken's Sleepwalkers was presented at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. The project included actors such as Donald Sutherland and Tilda Swinton, as well as musicians Seu Jorge and Cat Power.[11] Five interlocking vignettes shown through eight projections were displayed upon the exterior walls of the museum so as to be visible from the street. Concurrent with the exhibition, Aitken also presented a "happening" inside the museum that featured live drummers and auctioneers, and a performance by Cat Power.[12]

In 2008, Aitken produced another large scale outdoor film installation, titled Migration for the 55th Carnegie International show titled "Life on Mars" in Pittsburgh, PA. The first installment in a three-part trilogy entitled Empire, the work features migratory wild animals of North America as they pass through and curiously inhabit empty and desolate hotel rooms.[13] He also produced a collection of photographs, 99 Cent Dreams, which captures "moments between interaction" to create a 21st century nomadic travelogue.[14]

Happenings

Aitken has directed many live "happenings" including his Broken Screen happening in Los Angeles and 99 cent dreams happening and Sonic happening in New York. He often borrows Allan Kaprow’s term “Happening” for such performances and invokes Fluxus as a precedent.[15] In 2009, Aitken orchestrated a real-time opera that assembled auctioneers performing against the rhythms of his Sonic Table, at Il Tempo del Postino, at Theatre Basel.[16] In October 2009, Aitken's Sonic Pavilion opened to the public. The pavilion is located in the forested hills of Brazil, at Inhotim. The Sonic Pavilion provides a communal space to listen to the sounds of the earth as they are recorded through highly sensitive microphones buried close to a mile deep into the ground and carried back into the pavilion through a number of speakers. The sound heard inside the pavilion is the amplified sound of the moving interior of the earth.[17]

Continuing his work in innovative outdoor projects, Aitken presented his latest large-scale installation, Frontier, on the Tiber river’s Isola Tiberina in the heart of Rome in November 2009. The film featured a protagonist played by the iconic American artist Ed Ruscha, as he's seen caught in a landscape between fiction and non-fiction. The work creates a futuristic journey from day to night in a world where reality is put into question.[18][19] First shown at Deste Foundation’s Slaughterhouse space on the Greek island of Hydra, Black Mirror is projected on five screens reflected “into infinity” across black mirrors and stars Chloë Sevigny tethered only by brief conversations over the phone and through voiceover in such disparate locales as Mexico, Greece, and Central America.[20]

Photographs and Light Boxes

Passenger, a group of still photographs made in 1999, shows planes in flight, most of which focus on the faint traceries of takeoffs and landings over desolate airport landscapes.[21] More recently, Aitken has created light boxes that combine photgraphic image and text

Books
