Wishing for Synchronicity: Works by
Pipilotti Rist
Explores Career and Influence of
Boundary-Breaking Artist
Contemporary Arts Museum Houston presents
first u.s. survey exhibition for swiss video artist Pipilotti
Rist
HOUSTON, Texas ? This fall, the Contemporary Arts
Museum Houston presents Wishing for Synchronicity: Works by Pipilotti
Rist, the first comprehensive U.S. survey of the seminal work of the Swiss
video artist. Organized by curator Paola Morsiani, the project brings
together Rist?s most significant work from the mid-1980s to the present.
Wishing for Synchronicity: Works by Pipilotti Rist is on view through
January 14, 2007, touring nationally following its Houston
presentation.
?Pipilotti Rist is a tremendously innovative and
distinctly personal voice in contemporary art. As a master of her chosen
media, she uses her large and small projections to place the viewer within
her world, provoking the contemplation of broad issues through her
individual actions,? said Contemporary Arts Museum Houston Director Marti
Mayo. ?We are proud to have organized her first survey exhibition in the
U.S. for our diverse regional, national and international audiences,
thereby continuing the Museum?s almost 60-year tradition of presenting the
best and most exciting art of our time.?
Wishing for Synchronicity: Works by Pipilotti
Rist includes eight of Rist?s early single-channel videos, six large
projections, and three additional works. The exhibition features a
selection of significant works spanning her career, such as I?m Not the
Girl Who Misses Much (1986) and Sip My Ocean (1996), in which pleasurable
images and music quickly become metaphors for hysteria and suffocation,
and Ever is Overall (1997), in which the camera follows a female walking
through city streets, smashing car windows with an iron flower as she
meanders.
?Through her use of video, Rist combines the worlds of
art history and mass culture to create her own visual language,? said
exhibition curator Paola Morsiani. ?She uses this convergence to
intelligently explore the power of our mind and its connection to the body
as well as the pervasiveness of our sexual experience and its link to our
mortality; and she expresses her profound empathy and hope for the times
in which we live.?
Rist recently accepted a prestigious commission to
create the visual identity for The Armory Show 2007, The International
Fair of New Art, to be held next February in New York City.
Rist was born in 1962 in Switzerland, and studied at
the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna, Austria and the School for Design
in Basel, Switzerland. Her work has been shown at the Venice Biennale; the
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; the Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art,
Tokyo; the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York; and the Museum of
Contemporary Art, Chicago. She lives and works in Zurich,
Switzerland.
