More information from the exhibition catalogue:
Marian Zazeela’s sculptures and light design have become well known, her works on paper have remained decidedly less so. Dia presents twenty-nine works on paper dating from 1962 to 1990 (with the majority from the 1960s and 1970s), which showcase the range of materials and motifs that stem from the artist’s deep interest in calligraphy and ornamental forms. These works on paper advance what Zazeela has termed “borderline art”—challenging the distinction between decorative and fine art by using decorative elements in the fine art tradition, and using actual borders as content in themselves. Also on view are several drawings for concert flyers and posters, as well as album covers.
Since the 1960s, Marian Zazeela has approached color and ornamentation as subjects in their own right, and structured her drawings according to the laws of symmetry. She expanded upon these principles as her work moved into three dimensions. Zazeela has worked with her partner and long-time collaborator La Monte Young on large-scale installations in sound and light since 1962. Their pioneering practice brings together visual and aural components into experience-based installations unfolding in extended duration. This presentation of her drawings at Dia:Beacon, Beacon, New York, highlights their particular significance to her larger oeuvre and expands a broader conversation with artists working contemporaneously to Zazeela. On visits to Morocco in 1959, Zazeela was inspired by the Arabic calligraphy on marketplace signs. Through this early interest in complex scripts and a class in Chinese calligraphy, she began to borrow forms from cursive writing and vary them to create new patterns. The artist distinguishes between work that focuses on words and letters and that which abstracts and alludes to language. With this experimentation, she developed the glyph form that emerges repeatedly in her works on paper.
Marian Zazeela was born in New York City in 1940. She studied painting at Bennington College, Vermont, and has been working with light as a medium since the early 1960s. Her light installations and projection series have been exhibited widely throughout the United States and Europe. Since 1962 she has collaborated with her partner La Monte Young on Dream House installations and performances with the Theatre of Eternal Music. Like Young, Zazeela became a disciple of Pandit Pran Nath in 1970; the two artists have devoted the last several decades to the performance of Indian classical music as part of their Just Alap Raga Ensemble. Zazeela’s environmental and performance works have been credited with influencing Andy Warhol’s multimedia event series Exploding Plastic Inevitable, and have been the object of group and solo presentations at Dia Art Foundation, New York; Centre Pompidou, Paris; and the Kunst im Regenbogenstadl Dream House in Polling, Germany, where a retrospective of her drawings was organized in 2000.
