The Icelandic video artist and co-founder of The Kitchen returns with her first solo museum exhibition in more than a decade. “Playback” champions Steina’s visual practice and follows its evolution from early collaborative video works created with her late husband, Woody Vasulka, to her career-long relationship with movement and manipulation of perspective. Although her works have been pivotal pieces in the collections of MoMA, the Smithsonian American Art Museum, SFMoMA, and more, “Playback” goes on to frame it in the context of today’s pressing questions about human creativity, technology, and its impact on the world around us.
