Modern Mondays

The Museum of Modern Art - MoMA, New York

Artists Patty Chang and David Kelley work in sculpture, performance, and new media to create films, photographs, documents, drawings, and lectures. At the core of their collaboration is the intersection of site and the imaginary. Chang and Kelley join us to discuss their collaborative video work, Flotsam Jetsam, which is currently on view at MoMA. They will also present Spiritual Myopia, a new multipart installation that engages with the infrastructure of petro-industry in the oil sands of Northern Canada. As described by the artists, the project brings together ideas of landscape, real estate, parenting, migration, drone surveillance, and physical touch through a collection of documentary artifacts that index the oil sands geography, and various levels of myopia or partial vision. Wavering between documentary and fictional forms, the project examines the relationship between landscape and identity in the midst of the dam's construction, which required the relocation of more than one million people.
