Bill Viola at the Grand Palais
I was excited to hear about Bill Viola's new show at the Grand Palais in Paris featuring his work from 1977 through the present. The pioneering video artist is based in Long Beach, California and creates mesmerizing large projection installations and moving paintings. The exhibition will be on view through July 21, 2014.
I loved the Getty Museum's 2003 show of Viola's work, which included The Passions and Five Angels for the Millennium, and enjoyed seeing it multiple times with my friends. It was fascinating to observe the facial expressions of the museum visitors as they experienced his work because his pieces were so powerful in the way that they drew the audience into the slow moving and intense images.
