    NEW YORK, NY.- The Museum of Modern Art presents Projects 97: Mark Boulos, the New York premiere of the artist’s video installation "All That Is Solid Melts into Air" (2008), on view March 19th through July 16th.  In his documentary video installations, Mark Boulos (b. 1975, United States) investigates the space between abstract concepts and material reality. The two-channel video installation All That Is Solid Melts into Air juxtaposes two communities at opposite ends of the world, each struggling to control petroleum. One video depicts floor brokers in the Chicago Mercantile Exchange trading petroleum contracts during the first days of the financial crisis in 2008. The other presents footage from the artist’s experience living among Nigerian fishermen, members of the militant organization Movement for the Emancipation of the Niger Delta (MEND), who live in one of the largest oil fields in the world.
