MoMA Presents Sigalit Landau Installation
For Projects 87: Sigalit Landau, The Museum of Modern Art presents Cycle Spun (2007), a three-channel video installation that was recently acquired for the collection, by artist Sigalit Landau (b. Israel, 1969). The videos—DeadSee (2005), Barbed Hula (2000), and Day Done (2007)—each depict a performative act of spinning or circular motion, set against a landscape in Landau’s native Israel. The works can be viewed as either a triptych or a trilogy shown simultaneously. On view through July 28, 2008, the exhibition is part of the Museum’s ongoing Elaine Dannheisser Projects Series and is organized by Klaus Biesenbach, Chief Curator, Department of Media.
Sigalit Landau is one of the most important artists of contemporary Israel, her work is a metaphor of a hideous world out of joint. Great, she is having a show at the Moma.
