The Paradise Institute

Luhring Augustine Gallery, New York

Luhring Augustine is pleased to present Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller's multimedia, collaborative, project The Paradise Institute. This is Cardiff and Miller¹s first solo exhibition at the gallery.

Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller have forged a multimedia practice that international critics have identified as one of the most significant breakthroughs in conceptual art in the past decade. For the 2001 Venice Biennale, Cardiff and Miller produced The Paradise Institute, a 17 minute digital video experience combining film/video with the stunning stereo and binaural audio tracks that have become the trademark of their narrative, audio-driven walks through museums and urban landscapes. In this piece, as in others, the artists use sound and moving images in fundamentally new ways, effectively blurring the distinction between the actors in the film and the observers in the audience. For The Paradise Institute, Cardiff and Miller received the Biennale¹s Premio Prize, which is reserved for the most promising emerging artists in the exhibition.

Janet Cardiff and George Bures Miller are both Canadian, and currently live in Berlin, where Cardiff recently finished a DAAD fellowship. Their work has been presented at some of the most important venues for contemporary art, including the Carnegie International, Pittsburgh, The Hamburger Banhoff, Berlin, PS1 Contemporary Art Center, New York, and the Tate Modern, London.

Each seventeen-minute showing of The Paradise Institute can accommodate 16 people. As each viewer requires his or her own seat and headphones, this number is not flexible. In order to accommodate everyone comfortably, with the least amount of waiting time, showings on Saturday will be reserved by appointment only.
