The 'Station to Station' film is made entirely out of one-minute films, and each of the 62 minutes is a completely different person, place or encounter. Doug Aitken completelyencounterfilm Change image and share on social
I think there is a hunger for things that wake you up, something that makes you peel back your eyes, that reminds you that you are alive. Art is at its best when it is in the 'now.' Doug Aitken aliveartback Change image and share on social
The 'Station to Station' film has been fascinating to create. It feels as though it made itself in a way, and after awhile, the film told us what it needed and began to sculpt itself. Doug Aitken awhilebegincreate Change image and share on social

I have a weak spot for late '60s-early '70s yippie paperbacks and protest manifestos. I find them at flea markets or online. One of my favorites is 'Right On,' a compendium of student protests made into this 95-cent paperback with the most amazing graphics. Doug Aitken 60s70samaze share on social
Our culture is not this thing to be seen from a distance. We need to be embracing the friction of it all - that is where the energy is. Doug Aitken culturedistanceembrace Change image and share on social
