One Way: Peter Marino
explores the renowned American architect’s multifaceted relationship with art.
Recognized as a pioneer of cross-disciplinary practice, Peter Marino has been
celebrated over the past four decades for his forward-thinking work that exists
at the intersection of art, fashion and architectural design.
Curated by internationally renowned cultural agitator and
curator Jérôme Sans, the exhibition explores the interplay between Marino’s
iconic architectural designs, his personal collection of contemporary art and
his series of cast-bronze boxes. True to the architect’s practice of creating
bespoke environments at the intersection of art, design and fashion, One Way:
Peter Marino will feature commissioned new work by artists Gregor Hildebrandt, Guy Limone, Farhad
Moshiri, Jean-Michel Othoniel and Erwin Wurm.
One Way: Peter Marino begins with Hildebrandt’s Orphische Schatten (Orphic
Shadows), a site-specific installation that employs hundreds of videotape
strips culled from copies of Jean Cocteau’s classic film Orphée. Hildebrandt’s
installation continues inside the museum galleries, plunging the Bass Museum’s
“white cube” into shimmering darkness, extending Cocteau’s poetic play with imagery
of mirrors and passageways to the Underworld.
These corridors of tape guide visitors through a selection
of works from Marino’s personal collection of contemporary art, including
pieces by Loris
Gréaud, Keith Haring, Richard Serra, Rudolf Stingel, and Andy Warhol, among
others. The exhibition also features sections dedicated to Pop Art, iconic
portraiture and photography, and Marino’s recently designed series of
cast-bronze boxes that will be presented within leather-clad walls.
One Way: Peter Marino comes
to a suitably mythological conclusion with the recreation of Christophe Willibald Gluck’s opera Orfeo ed Euridice. This
work – a collaboration between Marino, his wife Jane Trapnell, Michal Rovner, Dior, Francesco Clemente and others –
recreates the opera originally staged in Marino’s New York home in 2013 with
sets designed by Marino himself. Artistic collaborations and privately
commissioned performances such as Orfeo ed Euridice demonstrate Marino’s
passion and continued drive to work with the most talented individuals in the
visual and performing arts.
