Brian Eno to Release "77 Million Paintings" on All Saints Records September 266 September 2006
and every viewer also has a unique experience of the painting.
The prevalence of powerful home computers means that it is now possible to mass-produce and distribute this art. This brings the concept of Eno's generative light installations from the controlled space of the gallery into the viewer's home and creates what Eno describes as "visual music" on what would otherwise be a dead space in the room. But it also raises questions about the concept of the "original" in art that Walter Benjamin could not have imagined when he wrote "The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction." Millions of Brian Eno originals will be created and then disappear only to be replaced by millions more.
Eno's artwork has been shown at scores of galleries, arts festivals and biennales across the globe. Since his first installation at the Kitchen Centre for the Performing Arts in New York in 1979 he has created installations at Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; New Gallery of Contemporary Art, Cleveland; Contemporary Arts Museum, Houston; The New Museum, New York; The Art Gallery, Toronto; Vancouver Art Gallery; Espace Lyonnais d'Art Contemporain; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; ICA, London; Concord Gallery, New York; Galleria del Cavallino, Venice; Festival of Vienna; La Foret Museum, Tokyo; Centre National d'art et de Culture Georges Pompidou, Paris; Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston; Santa Monica Museum; Seed Gallery, Tokyo; Zwirner Gallerie, Cologne; Douglas Hyde Gallery, Dublin; Gallerie VVK, Hanover; Galerie Lavalin, Montreal; Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art, Copenhagen; Kiasma Museum of Art, Helsinki; Markthalle, Hamburg; White Cube Gallery, London; Marble Palace, St Petersburg; Hayward Gallery, London; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. He has also exhibited work at the Biennales of Sydney (1982), Venice (1986), Adelaide (1988), Milan (1990) and Lyon (2005).
