press release
An international survey of work by approximately 31 artists exploring altered states and alternative modes of perception, Ecstasy features painting, sculpture, video, film, installation, photography, and new media by some of today's leading artists as well as the most promising work by the up-and-coming generation. Ecstasy presents recent and specially commissioned works that challenge notions of interactivity while generating a heightened aural and visual experience for the individual. Featured artists include Franz Ackermann, Eija-Liisa Ahtila, Francis Alÿs, Chiho Aoshima, Assume Vivid Astro Focus, Massimo Bartolini, Tatsurou Bashi, Glenn Brown, Janet Cardiff and Georges Bures Miller, Olafur Eliasson, Lara Favaretto, Sylvie Fleury, Tom Friedman, Rodney Graham, Jeppe Hein, Damien Hirst, Carsten Höller, Pierre Huyghe, Ann Veronica Janssens, Ann Lislegaard, Matt Mullican, Takashi Murakami, Paul Noble, Roxy Paine, Charles Ray, Erwin Redl, Pipilotti Rist, Paul Sietsema, Fred Tomaselli, and Klaus Weber.
The exhibition is organized by Chief Curator Paul Schimmel and is accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue.
Ecstasy is made possible by the generous support of Lillian and Jon Lovelace; Susan Bay Nimoy and Leonard Nimoy; Audrey M. Irmas; Jennifer and Manfred Simchowitz; Catharine and Jeffrey Soros; Beth Swofford; David Teiger; The Danish Arts Agency, The Visual Arts Centre; and Mandy and Clifford J. Einstein.
