#ParleyLIVE: Doug Aitken

Where do we go from here?

In the first of our #ParleyLIVE series, artist Doug Aitken and Parley founder Cyrill Gutsch catch up about art, collaboration and how we can use the current pause to re-evaluate our place in the natural world.

“I think that more than anything, I hope that we use this time to reflect, and to really take inventory on this notion of acceleration, and to look at other systems. To recognize that we're not moving off the Earth, that we're part of the root system of the planet. We're part of the geology, the ecology of the planet" – Doug Aitken

Doug has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions around the world, in such institutions as the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Museum of Modern Art, the Vienna Secession, the Serpentine Gallery in London and the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.
