PIPILOTTI RIST'S 'BE NICE TO ME, FLATTEN'
Pipilotti Rist's lush multimedia installations playfully and provocatively merge fantasy and reality. MoMA has commissioned the Swiss artist to create a monumental site-specific installation that immerses the Museum's Marron Atrium in twenty-five-foot-high moving images. Visitors to the exhibition, which opens 19 November, will be able to experience the work while walking through the space or sitting upon a sculptural seating island designed by the artist. As a preview to Rist's work we are featuring 'Be Nice to Me, Flatten' (2004), one of the works the artist will be discussing at an event on 17 November with Klaus Biesenbach, Chief Curator of Media at MoMA, New York. Pipilotti Rist: Pour Your Body Out (7354 Cubic Meters) November 19, 2008–February 2, 2009 Museum of Modern Art, New York

i despise people who look at art and then comment on it by telling the artist to get a job, jealous much?

So ein Blödsinn und so etwas wird als Kunst akzeptiert. Her name Pipilotti says it all, she's pippi.... I live in Switzerland and am angry or pissed off oops, with the swiss art scene...
