Mika Taanila: Tomorrow’s New Dawn
May 24–August 11
CAM presents the first solo U.S. museum exhibition of Finnish documentary filmmaker Mika Taanila. On view May 24 through August 11, 2013, Mika Taanila: Tomorrow’s New Dawn will present a number of significant videos and installations created over the past decade as well as several important new works for the first time. For more than twenty years, Taanila has created works in film, video, photography, sound, and installation that investigate various technological developments and the innovators behind them. He uses the documentary form to consider and often critique the implications of humanity’s drive towards advancement, frequently emphasizing the failure of utopian visions to fulfill their promises and questioning the costs associated with progress.

Kerry James Marshall
May 24–July 7
CAM presents a project by Kerry James Marshall as part of its ongoing Front Room series. Marshall is known for work in a broad range of media informed by African-American life and history, popular culture, and art history. On view May 24 through July 7, 2013, his project at CAM will be a new, multidimensional installation that examines ideas about scientific transformations of nature as they apply to race and humanity. It is scheduled to coincide with the June 2013 opening of the Saint Louis Art Museum’s new East Building expansion, where one of Marshall’s most significant works, Watts 1963 (1995), will be on view
