Station to Station

No two days were the same in Doug Aitken’s ‘living exhibition’ with hundreds of free multi art events taking place over 30 days around the Barbican

In Summer 2015, Doug Aitken brought artists from the worlds of visual art, music, dance, film and design together for a ’30 day happening’.

The happening featured special ticketed events and exciting free day time events such as resident musician Martin Creed, EMA. Terry Riley and LoneLady recording live music performances, resident artist Tal R’s Rosa Pagoda woodblock studio created original prints on-site and resident dance artists Siobhan Davies Dance, Ann Van den Broek and New Movement Collective researched and performed in the space. Outside on the lakeside and sculpture court, visitors explored yurts byartists Liz Glynn, Urs Fischer, Ernesto Neto and Kenneth Anger or watched Stephen Shore’s slide show at dusk and so much more.
