EXCERPT FROM: By Frank Magiera
Ms. Marika when asked about the installation said, ã The thing we forget about and whatâs beautiful about doing a contemporary piece in a setting with such history, is the connection to the human body, the aesthetic of the nude figure throughout history and time is one of reverenceä· The clay, both on the wall and in the projection was intended to connect with the Roman mosaics in the space ·ãIt relates to the idea of exposing and unearthing things from the ground and how we unearth different cultures and find out about those people and that time in history·ä |
The
Worcester Art Museum is about to test its viewers in itâs latest installation
ãThe Wall at WAMä series of murals. Ms. Marikaâs latest piece ãUnearthedä
projects a ã larger than life-sizedä video of herself on a 60 foot long
wall. The placement of the video piece relates to the ãHuntä mosaic, which
is also on display inside the museumâs Renaissance Court. Susan Stoops
the curator of the exhibition said, ãThe installation, like all good art,
brings together a range of Cultural issues and connects them to a specific
place and time.ä
