Ed Ruscha & Doug Aitken in Conversation – One Day Only
Ed Ruscha comes to the Lightscape installation at Marciano Art Foundation for the North American debut screening of Frontier, an artwork/film by Doug Aitken.
Ruscha plays a detached observer moving from a darkened theater through city streets that shift between reality and illusion, leading him toward a riot that slowly reveals itself as staged, blurring fiction and nonfiction.
"In Frontier, the protagonist’s viewpoint is that of a voyeur—watching and never participating. I wanted the narrative to be like a film set itself, where you could feel the fineness of the line between fiction and nonfiction.” — Doug Aitken
