Installation

Alex Israel
REMEMBR

March 27–30, 2024
Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre
www.artbasel.com

Alex Israel’s interactive video installation REMEMBR (2023) will be on view for the first time in Asia at Art Basel Hong Kong 2024. To realize REMEMBR, the artist worked closely with BMW to develop AI technology that collects, filters, and composes content from a smartphone’s camera roll. The resulting montage is choreographed to music and displayed across seven custom-designed screens, each taking the shape of Israel’s iconic profile, arranged around an all-electric BMW i7 sedan. The immersive installation invites visitors to delve into the artist’s hyper-memories and, equally, share their own. Israel comments, “I experience driving as a very inspiring process: it brings back countless memories, sparks my imagination, and helps me to generate new memories and new ideas.” The work will make its European debut in June 2024 at Gagosian, London.

Screening

Anna Weyant Selects

March 22–April 2, 2024
Metrograph, New York
metrograph.com

Anna Weyant has curated a selection of three films as part of an ongoing series copresented by Gagosian and Metrograph. Weyant comments, “The experience of watching each of these films is markedly different with respect to their individual style, storytelling, aesthetic, and dialogue. When I consider what it is about these stories that resonates with me, I am repeatedly drawn to their through lines of the power dynamics, complexities, and deceptions in relationships (and society); the uneasiness that comes from not fully knowing one’s surroundings (or the company one keeps); and our inherent desires for connection in an increasingly isolating world.”

Featured films include
Lost in Translation (2003, directed by Sofia Coppola)
Gone Girl (2014, directed by David Fincher)
Parasite (2019, directed by Bong Joon Ho)
