NYAB Event - Marnie Weber "The Bondage of Decay"

Marnie Weber "The Bondage of Decay"

Marc Jancou Contemporary

This event has ended.

Marnie Weber invents fractured narratives that conjure up twisted fairytales and haunting, dream-like worlds populated by fantastical characters. The exhibition, "The Bondage of Decay," presents one of the final chapters of the invented narrative of the Spirit Girls, an all female band who die tragically and return as ghosts in a quest for spiritual enlightenment. In this tale, the lead Spirit Girl guides a group of 12 clowns through varying adventures until she ultimately rejoins the spirit world, leaving them alone to grieve. In addition to an installation of clown sculptures and collages, the exhibition will feature two significant large-scale sculptures: a marble ghost clown and a painted wood circus bear.
