Upcoming Exhibitions
JOHN GIORNO: NO NOSTALGIA will bring together a select group of John Giorno’s work ranging from early prints to his black-and-white text and rainbow paintings. Also on view will be a selection of materials from Giorno’s archive showing how he pieced together his poems, while demonstrating the public and private friendships that made him a force and an essential voice in the New York art scene since the 1960s.
On View Now
An installation by Kristen Wentrcek & Andrew Zebulon that reflects the material, ornamental, and functional history of the Marciano Art Foundation building, formerly a 1961 Scottish Rite Masonic temple designed by Millard Sheets. Named after the double-headed eagle symbol central to Freemasonry, Quaternion features an ensemble of functional furniture hand-carved from industrial-grade foam and covered in a skin-thick pigmented coating.
In this site-specific mural commissioned by the Marciano Art Foundation, Party creates a fantastical forest that grows as visitors ascend the stairwell floor by floor.
Handsome sets of documents, photographs, and Masonic paraphernalia left at the Temple are presented in the renovated Masonic library.
