    ‘PIPILOTTI RIST: Pour Your Body Out (7354 Cubic Meters)’
    Museum of Modern Art
    New York
    Pipilotti Rist's lush multimedia installations playfully and provocatively merge fantasy and reality. MoMA commissioned the Swiss artist to create a monumental site-specific installation that immerses the Museum's Marron Atrium in twenty-five-foot-high moving images. Visitors will be able to experience the work while walking through the space or sitting upon sculptural seating islands designed by the artist.

    PAUL McCARTHY AND DAMON MCCARTHY: CARIBBEAN PIRATES
    Los Angeles Premiere
    8.30 pm

    This multi-screen installation offers Los Angeles audiences their first view of videos from Caribbean Pirates, the McCarthy studio’s sprawling survey of the pirate figure in American popular culture. As originally shown in 2005 at Munich’s Haus der Kunst, the manic, typically bawdy work collaged video projections with large-scale sculptures, props, and film sets — including a full-scale pirate frigate and a 1970s-era houseboat. Different incarnations of this scabrous examination of the pirate as a symbol of invasion, plunder and depravity have since been presented at several other major European venues to vast critical and popular acclaim. The site-specific installation of Caribbean Pirates at REDCAT marks the first time that this work is being shown without its related sculptural elements.

    ‘Chalo! India: A new Era of Indian Art’
    MORI ART MUSEUM
    Tokyo
    India, Asia's 'other' vast nation, used to be talked of in terms of its history (as old as time itself), gods and faiths, hustle and bustle, and poverty. This has changed with the country's rapid economic development, and India has begun to express itself in new ways that depart significantly from its previous stereotypes. In particular, the country's burgeoning contemporary art scene has come to the world's attention with the progression of globalization, the expansion of the art market, and the emergence of a younger generation of artists who are revealing to the world their diverse and dynamic visions. This full-scale exhibition introduces the most exciting trends in the contemporary art of India, a country that has undergone a major transformation since it gained independence sixty years ago. The creativity of this nation is revealed through paintings, sculptures, and media-based artworks by more than twenty young and established artists. The exhibition examines how these creators use their keen insight and free spirit to question the reality and time in which they live, taking their themes from familiar objects and ideas in daily life and society – as if to put 'life' itself on display. Viewers will find themselves questioning the public nature of art, the relationships between individual and world and tradition and pop culture, and contemporary society in India, whose urbanization and economic disparities are brought into relief as the background from which these art works have emerged.
