Professor Adrian Rifkin and Executive Director of the Holt/Smithson Foundation Lisa Le Feuvre discuss Robert Smithson: Mundus Subterraneus – Early Works, on view at Galerie Marian Goodman in Paris through 24 February, 2024. This exhibition focuses on Smithson’s works on paper made in the early 1960s, presenting drawings and collages that set the ground for his studies of entropy and the fall of modernism. Many of these drawings have never previously been seen. Leather-clad bikers, crumbling cities, movie stills, occult books, and erotic entanglements buzz against references to the dogmas of art history, religion, and totalitarianism. Marian Goodman Gallery Presents is a platform featuring in-depth conversations with artists and curators alike. The aim is to complement the gallery's exhibition and related programming—in New York, Paris, and Los Angeles—in an effort to make our programs accessible to the public.

Imagine coming across one of the many works of public art in streets of the city. Something catches your eye, and you want to know more about it. You may wonder what the artist intended when creating it, or what it represents. Listen to this audio excerpt to hear Richard Deacon discuss his sculpture "Between the Eyes", which is included as part of ArtBuzz, an audio tour of Toronto’s public art. Using your smartphone, ArtBuzz makes it easy to hear from the artists themselves as they share some of the secrets and stories behind their art.

Cristina Iglesias unearths the forgotten terrains and geographic history of Madison Square Park in Landscape and Memory, a newly-commissioned public art installation and her first major temporary public art project in the United States. Landscape and Memory places five bronze sculptural pools, each with intricately patterned bas reliefs that feature water gently flowing and arriving in different sequences, into the park’s Oval Lawn. These sculptural works harken back to when the Cedar Creek—now buried underground—coursed across the land where the park stands today. Building on Iglesias’ practice of unearthing the forgotten and excavating natural history, Landscape and Memory resurfaces in the imaginations of contemporary viewers the now-invisible force of this ancient waterway. The installation is on view through 4 December 2022. The audio tour is provided courtesy of Madison Square Park Conservancy, and led by Deputy Director and Martin Friedman Chief Curator Brooke Kamin Rapaport.

In the latest episode of Marian Goodman Gallery Presents, Julie Mehretu speaks with poet Robin Coste Lewis about their collaboration at the Galerie Marian Goodman in Paris, currently on view through 14 May 2022. This presentation marks the intersection between art and poetry: a new series of medium-sized paintings and two large-scale prints by Mehretu are presented in tandem with an audio recording and installation by Lewis. The collaboration between Mehretu and Lewis also marks the culmination of a political and aesthetic friendship between the two, which grew over time and which meditates on the relationship between the history of time, mark-making, human migrations, desire and the abstract.

Marian Goodman Gallery invites you to celebrate the NYC launch of Arabesque by Dara Birnbaum, the first in a series of innovative works published by D’ORO D’ART. Dara Birnbaum was in conversation with the curators of the book, Barbara London and Valentino Catricalà, and the publisher Salvatore Dino, on 22 March 2022 at Marian Goodman Gallery New York. For her book commissioned by D’ORO D’ART Project, Birnbaum took on the challenge of transforming her four-channel video, Arabesque (2011) into a unique, vertically-formatted single screen. Integrating the latest in software and hardware, the highly skilled designers at D’ORO D’ART successfully created a hybrid object, which is a book, a sculpture, and a video artwork all in one.

A live discussion recorded on 26 January 2022, by Hans Ulrich Obrist on Ettore Spalletti (1940-2019), whose work is on view in our New York gallery through 5 March 2022. About Hans Ulrich Obrist Hans Ulrich Obrist (b. 1968, Zurich, Switzerland) is Artistic Director of the Serpentine Galleries in London, Senior Advisor at LUMA Arles, and Senior Artistic Advisor at The Shed in New York. Prior to this, he was the Curator of the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. Since his first show World Soup (The Kitchen Show) in 1991, he has curated more than 350 shows. About Ettore Spalletti Ettore Spalletti (1940-2019) was born in Cappelle sul Tavo (Pescara) where he spent his whole life. He began his career when Arte Povera was revolutionizing visual culture in Italy and beyond. Spalletti developed a singular, solitary voice and a resultant body of work that exceeds any movement circumscribing an artist to regional or ideological boundaries. Spalletti's formal vocabulary has always melded and balanced painting and sculpture, form and color, interior and exterior space.

She discusses Sirens, the first work she made entirely from found footage, and The Other Side, an homage to the artist’s transgender friends whom she lived with and photographed from 1972 to 2010. Learn more about the works in the exhibition, as well as Nan's political work during quarantine, in this full-length film.
