|  Mayor Announces Doug Aitken Project Mayor Bloomberg announced the upcoming Doug Aitken project at a press conference on July 25 - the artist's first large-scale public artwork - jointly commissioned by Creative Time and the Museum of Modern Art. The project is presently being filmed in New York City over the next two months and will be projected on the exterior of MoMA from January 16 to February 12, 2007, from 5:00 p.m. until 10:00 p.m. Inspired by the densely built environment of New York's midtown, the artist will create a multi-screen cinematic art experience that will directly integrate with the architectural fabric of the city. "With this project, Aitken has imagined an innovative urban art experience that magnifies poignant moments of peoples' everyday lives into a grand dialogue between pedestrians and the complex landscape they traverse," stated Anne Pasternak.
