"I make a conscious decision to pull the viewer in and to give them something on a visceral level. Just because we're in the art world do we not edit things? Do we just put the camera on a tripod and let it sit there? Do we just make the same early 80's video art that we've seen a million times because that's the look it's supposed to have? I find myself really disinterested in that. I want to give the viewer something that they will find provocative on an aesthetic level, something to make the attention they give worth their while. I ultimately want depth and questioning and something more elusive."
- Doug Aitken
Regen Projects is pleased to announce an exhibition of new works by Los Angeles artist Doug Aitken. This exhibition will present a series of new text-based light boxes and will feature the west coast debut of the film migration. Aitken explores the themes of temporality, space, memory, movement, and landscape in his work. History and themes of both the past and present are interwoven and reconfigured. His work deconstructs the connection between idea and iconography allowing each to reinvent itself.
