As an artist active within the circle of New York Minimal Art, Rosemarie Castoro referred to herself as “paintersculptor,” combining different media in her artworks, such as painting, performance, sculpture, and stage design. Inspired by experimental dance and choreography, her sculptural installations from the 1970s challenged the rational agenda of Minimal Art. The artist’s sculptural installation Land of Lashes consists of a serial arrangement of oversized eyelashes and functions as a counterpart to her artwork Land of Lads (1975).
This work was part of the exhibition “Rosemarie Castoro. Land of Lashes” shown at MAK from May 25 to October 1, 2023.
