Doug Aitken is widely known for his innovative fine art installations, and he is at the forefront of 21st century communication. Utilizing a wide array of media and artistic approaches, his eye leads us into a world where time, space and memory are fluid concepts.

Aitken’s body of work ranges from photography, sculpture and architectural interventions, to films, sound, single and multi-channel video works and installations. His work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions around the world, in such institutions as the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; MoMA-Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Vienna Secession; the Serpentine Gallery, London; and the Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris. He participated in the Whitney Biennial in 1997 and 2000 and earned the International Prize at the Venice Biennale in 1999 for the installation Electric Earth. Aitken’s Sleepwalkers exhibition at MoMA in 2007 transformed an entire block of Manhattan into an expansive cinematic experience as he covered the museum’s exterior walls with projections. In 2009, his Sonic Pavilion opened to the public in the forested hills of Brazil at the new cultural foundation Inhotim. Continuing his work in innovative outdoor projects, Aitken presented his latest large-scale film and architecture installation, Frontier, on Rome’s Isola Tiberina in November 2009 and at Art Basel Unlimited in 2010.
