Station to station

About this book

Doug Aitken's 'Station to Station' project is a high speed road trip through modern creativity. Over a 23-day period, the project crossed North America by train presenting a series of cultural interventions and site-specific happenings that took place in 10 cities between New York and San Francisco. The train, designed as a moving, kinetic light sculpture, was at the centre of it all, housing the constantly changing group of creative individuals and broadcasting experiences to a global audience. Over 100 unique projects took place during the journey, created by today's leading contributors in contemporary art, music, literature and culture. This volume presents the ideas that emerged from 'Station to Station.'
