Artist Discussion with Joseph Marioni
(The discussion will take place in English)

The paintings of the American Joseph Marioni (born 1943) run like a red thread through the current exhibition "Noli me tangere". With paintings from 1973 to 2003, among them the "Triptych" of 1995, Marioni's painting may be experienced here as if in a retrospective show. His work as a painter centers on concepts such as paint, color, material, body, space, movement, touch, balance, and light. The discussion with the artist, who will be here from New York, will be devoted to these concepts and also deal with issues pertaining to his most recent paintings. You are cordially invited to attend.
