Opening Receptions: Friday, Feb. 7, 5:30-7:30PM





Paul Pfeiffer
Main Galleries

Curators: Jane Farver and Dominic Molon

Artist's Talk: Saturday, Feb. 8, 1PM

This is the most substantial exhibition to date devoted to Paul Pfeiffer's video, photography, and sculpture. Pfeiffer's work addresses the many problematic aspects of present and future worlds dominated by astonishing revolutions in visual representation, while exploring universal themes of identity, race, and culture, often through imagery from sports, film, and popular culture. The exhibition premieres a number of new works including Corner Piece, Live Evil, and Poltergeist, as well as the remarkable Morning After the Deluge in which sunrise and sunset are impossibly yet scintillatingly fused into one image

Pfeiffer, winner of the Bucksbaum award from the 2000 Whitney Museum of American Art Biennial, is currently an artist-in-residence at MIT.

Paul Pfeiffer was jointly organized by the MIT List Visual Arts Center and the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. This exhibition has been generously sponsored by GUCCI and ArtPace, A Foundation for Contemporary Art, San Antonio. The Cambridge presentation is made possible by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, and the Council for the Arts at MIT.

Film Screening

Runa Islam: Rapid Eye Movement
Bakalar Gallery


This is the U.S. premiere of Runa Islam's short film (22 min.), Rapid Eye Movement (2002). Islam, a London-based artist, makes short films and filmic installations to excavate and reveal the many aspects of film's language. Her work serves to include the very seductive qualities of film, which is ordinarily occluded. In her newest work Rapid Eye Movement, Islam takes the understanding of film as a form of collective dreaming as a starting point for a luscious cinematic adventure.

The List Center's programs are generously supported by the Institute of Museum and Library Services, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, and the Council for the Arts at MIT. Special thanks to the British Consulate-General, Boston, Massachusetts.
