Mabel Palacin: Traces of the Avant-Garde: January 19, 2007

Mabel Palacin, a mid-career Catalan videographer, was commissioned to create video projections which reflect her interpretations of Dali, the museum, its setting and the collection. Mabel Palacin's recent video work grew out of her earlier interest in photography where she made large scale black and white images suggestive of film stills and celebrity photography in the tradition of Dali's celebrity portraits as seen in Dali and Mass Culture.
