There comes a time in the life of every human when he or she must decide to risk "his life, his fortune, and his sacred honor" on an outcome dubious. Those who fail the challenge are merely overgrown children, can never be anything else.
 – Robert A. Heinlein, Stranger in a Strange Land. 1961
In recent weeks we’ve all had the disorienting experience of witnessing massive, dramatic global events while still largely staying at home or slowly emerging from our homebound cocoons. Our minds have been expanded both outwardly and inwardly, and Marquee Projects presents an exhibition of international artists who risk delving into the ineffable and often unsettling spaces of consciousness, experimenting with the traditional genre of the figure in a landscape. Everything that seems familiar is rendered foreign. The only certainty is uncertainty. Placement is neither here nor there as we wrestle with time and history. We live in strange times and these artworks place us in stranger lands.

We kindly ask that you wear a mask. Groups of no more than four people at a time may enter the gallery. We also invite you to visit and explore our exhibition online. Marquee Projects’ website and Artsy site will post installation and individual photos of the work. Please also visit us on our social media platforms on Instagram and Facebook.

Photo courtesy of The Valley   Justine Rivas: How to Carry a Cloud Up through August 7, 2021 The Valley 1800 Camino del La Placita, Unit D Taos, NM 87571 From the Press Release: The Valley is pleased to present its first solo exhibition with Los Angeles-based painter Justine Rivas . The exhibition, titled  How to carry a cloud,  includes a series of new paintings that explore hidden sources of water in the desert landscape. Rivas uses clouds and creosote bushes as metaphors for the interconnected sources of life-giving moisture in arid regions. Both reflect water stored in the land and the air, deceptively close and yet inaccessible. Cloud forms appear across several works, oscillating between pattern and landscape. As above, so below- creosote in its various forms appear as a familiar and familial plant speaking to the artists’ connection to the desert landscape, her family has lived in the borderlands since t...

Current Show at Galerie Victor Sfez - On View Through April 23

EXHIBITION OF 19 MARCH TO 23 April 2016 DANIEL G. HILL develops a sensitive geometry. He chooses fragile materials that he weaves, knots, suspends, sometimes playing with the influence of gravity, which he uses to his advantage. A keen observer, he seizes the moment and the detail to create work of unusual and poetic balance. JOCELYNE SANTOS is a color magician. As much in her paintings as in her sculptures, contrasting tones are juxtaposed with harmony, giving birth to unexpected chromatic variations. We never complete our discovery of her palette. New nuances invite surprise, illusions dazzle our eyes, and that which is hidden in the work ends up being its main concern. SHAWN STIPLING works with perception. Space is always present, suggested by clever crossings and misleading offsets that generate new virtual planes. The simplicity of his line is only an appearance: executed by hand, it still takes on a deliberately mechanical look. Confiding to us, the ...
