Doug Aitken: Electric Earth Exhibition Catalogue

By Phillipe Vergne, Joseph Grima, Anna Katz, Norman Klein, Glenn Lowry This catalog was published in conjunction with the 2016 MOCA exhibition "Doug Aitken: Electric Earth" September 11, 2016 - January 15, 2017 From photography to architecture, and from video to spoken word, Doug Aitken has delved into a variety of art forms to create a provocative body of work. This volume surveys the full scope and depth of Aitken’s work: sound pieces, sculpture, architectural experiments, land art and happenings, which embrace a collaborative spirit across disciplines and beyond walls, to re-imagine the nature of what a work of art can be. Interspersed with hundreds of color illustrations, the book’s essays examine the plethora of ideas the artist tackles—from environmental decay to the end of linear time—and explain how and why Aitken challenges many artistic barriers. Published by Prestel, 2016 Hardcover with 264 pages, illustrated throughout 9 x 12 inches
