Скачать или смотреть Nasher Public: Linnea Glatt on 'Of Moth and Rust'

Linnea Glatt talks about relinquishing some control of her artistic practice over the natural processes of decay and how the results provoke important questions of care and attention to the natural world.

For her Nasher Public installation, Linnea Glatt fills the Nasher Public Gallery with steel sheets, placed on the floor bearing aqueous yet earthly textures. Along the back wall, a gauzy white cotton curtain with a tattered, rust-stained bottom edge softens the space and recalls domestic interiors. Her title for the installation, 'Of Moth and Rust' references the Biblical passage that instructs its reader not to “store up yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy…” and serves as a metaphor for the truism that nothing lasts in this life.
