Volitia Turns Herself Inside Out in Order to See the World on view June 6 – August 3, 2024 at Shirley Fiterman Art Center, BMCC, CUNY.
“The Shirley Fiterman Art Center is excited to present Volitia Turns Herself Inside Out in Order to See the World, an exhibition of works by Melissa Marks. The show is an installation comprised of framed color drawings and black and white paintings created directly on the walls of the gallery. The show will open while Marks continues to work on the wall paintings, which will ultimately stretch from the South Gallery (facing onto the World Trade Center) through the corridor to the North Gallery. Viewers will have the opportunity to watch Marks as she transforms the space over the course of several weeks. Engaging directly with the architecture and space of the Fiterman Art Center, Marks’s installation will be performative and monumental, as well as ephemeral, as the murals will be painted over at the exhibition’s end.”
