“I quite like the transitions of being an actor, because you get to explore these little pockets of life. So if you’re playing a builder you get to know about building, if you’re playing a scientist or a physician or something you get to know about physics. And similarly with this world I like exploring their culture, that very sort of upper middle class, addictive… that’s part of the reason I love it.” -Matt Smith, 2008

Name Carsten Höller: Experience
Location New Museum, New York
Info Exhibition runs through January 15, 2012

Over the past twenty years, Carsten Höller has created a world that is equal parts laboratory and test site, exploring such themes as childhood, love, the future, and doubt. Höller left his early career as a scientist in 1993 to devote himself exclusively to art making, and his work is often reminiscent of research experiments. His pieces are designed to explore the limits of human sensorial perception and logic through carefully controlled participatory experiences.
