About the Exhibition:
Marmoris, from the Latin word for marble, evokes both the classical weight of artistic legacy and the enduring textures of time and transformation. This exhibition draws from the Deering Estate’s Artist-in-Residence (AIR) archive, presenting a curated selection of works that reflect the depth and diversity of artistic inquiry fostered on-site over the past two decades. This second iteration expands the original framework to include works by current residents, alongside new projects developed by past participants. Marmoris 2 will be on view through May 23.

This archival selection underscores the AIR program’s long-standing commitment to process-based exploration and place-based creation. Marmoris 2 invites viewers to consider how artistic practices preserve, question, and reshape collective memory by revisiting pivotal works and moments from the residency’s legacy. The exhibition stands as both a reflective monument and a living platform for future inquiry, where what has been carved endures, and what is ephemeral becomes part of an ever-evolving artistic topography.
