Roberto Behar & Rosario Marquardt: the Absent City August 9, 2008

Miami-based artists Roberto Behar and Rosario Marquardt, who were trained as architects in Argentina, will create a three-part installation in MMoCA's lobby and State Street Gallery. A curtain of ribbons in the museum's glass icon will be complemented by a salon-like "reading room" with two-dimensional works and furniture in the museum's lobby. The third work, an installation of ribbons in the State Street Gallery, will be arranged in trapezoidal conglomerations to recreate the organic layout of a medieval city.
