Michael Smith | Film Screening at MoMA

Hales is pleased to share news of a special career-spanning screening of Michael Smith's video works at MoMA on Monday 5 May at 7.00pm.

 

The programme will feature his iconic performance personae, including Baby Ikki, Mike, and the owner of a fictitious lighting design company, as they haplessly navigate their everyday world. The programme will also feature a preview of Smith's 2025 sequel to his dystopic 1985 video Mike Builds a Shelter.

 

This screening coincides with the release of Mike's Box, an eight-disc DVD collection surveying Smith's video work (co-produced by ARTPIX and Moikai/Drag City). Following the screening, Smith will be joined in conversation by Stuart Comer, MoMA's Lonti Ebers Chief Curator of Media and Performance.
