RESTLESS
Films and Other Works by Mircea Cantor
The Museum of the Moving Image and the Romanian Cultural Institute in New York present an exhibition of video installations, short films, and other works by Mircea Cantor. Don't miss the final weeks of the exhibition which includes installations of three video works: Tracking Happiness (2009), Vertical Attempt (2009), and I Decided Not to Save the World (2011); a wall drawing, and a photographic diptych. Selected programs of his short films are also on show, with a new selection starting each Saturday. Mircea Cantor won the prestigious Marcel Duchamp Prize in 2011, his wry, conceptual work having been compared to that of Duchamp. The Romanian artist creates images that are concerned with issues of memory, history, oppression, and the futility - and necessity - of hope.
