From Huguenot to Microwave: New and Recent Works by Marco Maggi
Curated by Brian Wallace
February 12 – April 15, 2011
Alice and Horace Chandler Gallery and North Gallery
Marco Maggi’s obsessively minimal yet coolly detailed artworks are studies in perception that reflect back, metaphorically and physically, on the viewer. This exhibition includes recent Plexiglas-and-paper objects, altered rulers and straight edges, aluminum-foil drawings, dropped-paper works, a video projection, and a new, large-scale installation work that intervenes in the gallery space itself.
