The Aldrich Museum of Contemporary Art, Ridgefield,
CT by David MACCARTHY THE NUDE THAT DARLING OF THE ARTISTS, THAT NECESSARY ELEMENT OF SUCCESS "In the nineties, several
women continue to make self-portrait nudes that examine personal experience.
... Denise Marika's video installation examines an ambiguous physical
encounter with her husband in which her nudity signifies honesty, truth,
vulnerability, and desirability. All are traditionally associated with
the female nude, but here are given an immediacy through Marika's willingness
to bring them to life through performance." |
