Marciano Art Foundation Bookst – förlag

In collaboration with Sigur Rós musician Jónsi, Icelandic-Danish artist Olafur Eliasson (born 1967) conceived a complex installation for his site-specific exhibition at the Marciano Art Foundation. Using projected light and the existing architecture of the museum, he created a dynamic shadow play referencing both Los Angeles' history of filmmaking and the gallery's former function as a theater.

The inaugural exhibition of the Marciano Art Foundation, Jim Shaw: The Wig Museum highlights Shaw’s (born 1952) career-long engagement with America’s diverse histories. The Los Angeles local used the enigmatic artifacts found during the transformation of the former Scottish Rite Masonic Temple where the foundation resides—stage sets, robes, costumes and wigs—to construct a metaphor for the wig-wearing masonic and judiciary Anglo-Saxon power that is coming to an end.
