Rosemarie Castoro: Focus at Infinity

×

Expand

A gifted painter and sculptor, proponent of Minimalism and member of the Sixties New York avant-garde, Rosemarie Castoro is curiously absent from the prevailing memory of contemporary art. This month, in a retrospective exhibition dedicated to her work, MACBA gives the multi-talented American artist the recognition she deserves. Focusing on works produced between 1964 and 1979, the exhibition will display her pioneering contribution to abstraction and monochrome painting, showcasing Minimalist paintings alongside performance and conceptual installations, Post-Minimalist sculptures and Land Art. Comprising more than 250 works, ‘Focus at Infinity’ reveals the diversity of Castoro’s artistic practice, expressed through multiple mediums, from concrete poetry and performance to Conceptualism and computer-generated procedural art, as well as her palpable social conscience and commitment to political activism. Together with commentary from curator Tanya Barson, the artwork will be accompanied by an exhibition catalogue featuring analysis from Minimalism specialists Melissa Feldman and Anna Lovatt.
