Moving Pictures is an exhibition of approximately 150 works by 55 contemporary artists working in photography, film, and video. The exhibition focuses on the extensive use of reproducible mediums in the art of the last decade, proposing that this phenomenon has its roots in the late 1960s and 1970s, when artists incorporated photography and the moving image into their conceptually based practices.
Moving Pictures includes major work by leading contemporary artists, such as Christian Boltanski, Rineke Dijkstra, Stan Douglas, Olafur Eliasson, Fischli/Weiss, Anna Gaskell, Andreas Gursky, Pierre Huyghe, William Kentridge, Iņigo Manglano-Ovalle, Shirin Neshat, Gabriel Orozco, Cindy Sherman, Thomas Struth, Sam Taylor-Wood, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Kara Walker, as well as work by pioneers such as Marina Abramovic, Vito Acconci, Bruce Nauman, Nam June Paik, and Robert Smithson, among others. The exhibition fills the museum's entire Frank Lloyd Wright rotunda, Thannhauser gallery 4, and Annex gallery 5.
