This week’s Modern Art Notes Podcast features artist Josiah McElheny. A survey of McElheny’s work is on view through October 14 at the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston. Titled “Some Pictures of the Infinite,” it was curated by Helen Molesworth.

Concurrently, McElheny’s The Past Was a Mirage I Had Left Far Behind (2011) is on view at London’s Whitechapel Gallery. The Whitechapel’s web page features not just stills from McElheny’s installation, such as the one above, but also video.

McElheny was the recipient of a 2006 MacArthur ‘genius’ fellowship. He has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Whitney Museum of American Art and at the Museum of Modern Art.
