Hito Steyerl’s Iconic Video Installation “Factory of the Sun” Opens at the San Jose Museum of Art

German artist Hito Steyerl’s iconic video installation Factory of the Sun opens at the San José Museum of Art (SJMA). Produced for the 2015 Venice Biennale, it’s a homecoming—the work was just aquired by SJMA along with L.A.’s Hammer Museum and MCA Chicago. In an e-flux dispatch, SJMA curator Kathryn Wade describes its central narrative about dance and routine becoming ‘pure light’ as “creating an imaginative reality where modern warfare, corporate culture, and anticapitalist resistance movements are played out.”
