Connie Butler and Tacita Dean with a screening of Mario Merz
- This is a past program
Hammer chief curator Connie Butler outlines Marisa Merz’s challenging, evocative body of work and its relationship to her domestic space and family life.
Butler’s presentation is followed by a screening of the short film Mario Merz by artist Tacita Dean. The film portrait captures Marisa Merz’s husband, the artist Mario Merz, months before his death. Followed by a discussion between Butler and Dean. (2002, dir. Tacita Dean, 16mm film, color, optical sound, 8 min.)
