conceptually based practices. Moving Pictures includes major work by leading contemporary artists, such as

Christian Boltanski, Rineke Dijkstra, Stan Douglas, Olafur Eliasson, Fischli/Weiss, Anna Gaskell, Andreas Gursky, Pierre
Huyghe, William Kentridge, Iñigo Manglano-Ovalle, Shirin Neshat, Gabriel Orozco, Cindy Sherman, Thomas Struth,
Sam Taylor-Wood, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Kara Walker, as well as work by pioneers such as Marina Abramovic, Vito
Acconci, Bruce Nauman, Nam June Paik, and Robert Smithson, among others. The exhibition fills the museum’s

entire Frank Lloyd Wright rotunda, Thannhauser gallery 4, and Annex gallery 5. Moving Pictures is on view from

June 28, 2002 to January 12, 2003.
