Pipilotti Rist: Pixel Forest

The Swiss artist explains why she wants her public to lay down on beds. The Danish company Kvadrat made it possible for her huge exhibition at the New Museum in New York.

Occupying the three main floors of the Museum, “Pipilotti Rist: Pixel Forest” – curated by Massimiliano Gioni, Edlis Neeson, Margot Norton and Helga Christoffersen – has been the most comprehensive presentation of Rist’s work in New York to date.   

It included work spanning the artist’s entire career, from her early single-channel videos from the 1980s that explore the representation of the female body in popular culture to her recent expansive video installations that transform architectural spaces into massive dreamlike environments enhanced by hypnotic musical scores.

With an elaborate new installation created with 200 meters of Kvadrat textiles specifically for this presentation, this exhibition revealed connections between the development of Rist’s art and the evolution of contemporary technologies.
