Marian Goodman Gallery

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.

The exhibition focuses on photographs taken over the past few years at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) and the Leibniz Institute for Zoo and Wildlife Research (IZW), two of the world's most prestigious scientific research centers. 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.

The latest episode of Marian Goodman Gallery Presents takes a close look at Time No Longer, the immersive film and sound installation commissioned by Anri Sala for the Buffalo Bayou Park Cistern in Houston, Texas. Sala speaks with writer and curator William J. Simmons about his approach to space as an instrument and the project’s prevailing theme: time, and how it relates to history, music, solitude and outer space.

"Pan Amicus," Dean's new 16mm film, was commissioned by the Getty Center, Los Angeles, where she was in residency from 2014-2015. Dean speaks with Jim Cuno, the President and CEO of the J. Paul Getty Trust, about the film, which includes museum objects, and is inspired by the Greek god Pan – ‘friend and helper’ in the ‘Piper at the Gates of Dawn’ (from the book, "The Wind in the Willows").

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.
