Louise Bourgeois, Sherrie Levine, Sterling Ruby and Christopher Wool in Transmissions: Selections from the Marciano Collection
22 February 2024—22 February 2025
Group exhibition at the Marciano Art Foundation, Los Angeles, CA, USA
In Jennifer Allora and Guillermo Calzadilla’s film The Great Silence, an endangered Puerto Rican parrot living next to the world’s largest radio telescope asks why humans listen in vain for transmissions from across the universe when there are intelligent species we might learn from right here on Earth. We might take the bird’s advice and wonder: what other kind of transmissions are we missing that we might be able to perceive if only we paid attention? Transmissions: Selections from the Marciano Collection brings together fifty-seven international artists working across a wide range of mediums who each in their own way generate signals into the ether for us to hear.
