Core

Rose Marcus' first UK exhibition furthered the artists' themes of public space and its intrinsic use of private experiences. The work was founded on snapshots of recognisable sites in New York City, yet disparate physical interventions ensure that the works skirt any fixed categorisation.

Marcus used these iconic sites, and in concert, let them use her, in order to shift assumptions about physical presence, vision and ownership. The results are portraits that call out to something immutable.
