The Fisher Center presents Woven: In Process an exhibition of 5 x 10 foot photographs by Tanya Marcuse, courtesy of the Julie Saul Gallery in New York City. Marcuse, an artist in residence at Bard, meticulously arranges natural elements in an intricate tableau of a lush yet decaying forest of fauna and flora, where a detailed still life weaves into a medieval tapestry. The exhibition features the artist's studio proofs giving the audience a look into the artist's process of making these elaborate photographs. Marcuse presents the unity of the work in its "opulence which verges on excess."
The gallery is open Tuesday through Sunday, from 12 to 5 p.m., and will extend until curtain call on performance evenings at the Fisher Center. During regular gallery hours, visitors may enter through the Fisher Center parking lot entrance.
There will be an artist talk moderated by Professor Daniel Mendelsohn on October 18 at 6:30 pm, free and open to the public.
The LA Review of Books describes artist Tanya Marcuse's newest series, Woven: "There is a taut, expressive balance between wildness and order, chance and deliberation . . . it's the sheer effusive beauty of Marcuse's creations, with the ingredients of creation, that emerges and ravishes." Learn more about Marcuse's work and discover Woven: In Process in the LUMA Lobby until November 20.
