Untitled (Marilyn), 2015
Printed images on aluminum, fabric
As part of a work created specially for Museu de Arte Moderna in Rio de Janeiro, Gonzalez-Foerster appears as Marilyn Monroe in the famous skinny dip scene from her unfinished last movie, Something’s Got to Give (1962), with this connecting us back to the early modern days of the museum and the mid-sixties when Gonzalez-Foerster was born.
Untitled, 1987/2015
Plastic red buckets and white architect lamps
For this exhibition, the artist recreated works from her early years. The unlikely pairing of desk lamps and plastic buckets creates a grouping of luminous objects. Characteristic of her continuous play with temporal displacements and the subjectivity of experience, the work conflates past and present.
