Chantal Ackerman: Now

“Now” presents two video installations by Chantal Akerman.  The exhibition offers an original approach to her work, her universe, her questions, and her dedication through two of her works produced several years apart, one dating to the artist’s youth, the other from a later point in her career. “Now” immersive video installation was designed for the Venice Biennale in 2015: “NOW originated first in the sound. Chantal said that she wanted us to experience fear, war, flight, imminent disaster through the entanglement of the soundtracks in space. She wanted us to experience chaos, to feel the extent to which our world is unhinged by violence.” (Claire Atherton)
