グッゲンハイム美術館のインスタグラム(guggenheim) - 8月29日 01時00分

Artist Marianna Castillo Deball asks, why are some objects kept in ethnographic and anthropological collections and not considered art? In "Stelae Storage" acquired by #GuggUBSMAP and on view now in #Storylines, plaster casts inspired by monolithic Mayan stone sculptures called stelae are displayed on storage racks, and point to the artist’s interest in what she refers to as “uncomfortable objects.” Deball's casts were inspired by papier-mâché molds made by nineteenth-century archaeologist Alfred Maudslay at the Mayan site of Palenque in southern Mexico. Many of the historic original sculptures were looted or have vanished, making Maudslay’s copies (which are now in the collection of the British Museum in London) the only evidence of their existence. Castillo Deball’s casts are thus twice removed from the original artifacts, raising questions about the value of the copy and the transmission of historical truth.
