there our star lies visible a solo exhibition by Marcus Zúñiga ​

July 10 - August 21, 2021

there our star lies visible was a solo exhibition by artist Marcus Zúñiga on view from July 10 through August 21, 2021, and presented by the Philosophical Research Society. The exhibition follows the release of gila emplacement, an artist book and land art project Zúñiga completed in 2020 and presented last fall at PRS. The project saw the artist return to his family home in New Mexico to observe the sunrise from the mountains of the Gila forest, when the planet Venus was at its brightest magnitude for the year. Zúñiga laid wildflowers gathered from the region into a circle on the terrain of the mountain landscape to ceremonially mark the celestial event.

there our star lies visible shares the essence of the sunrise experience outside of when it originally happened. The exhibition included telescopic-satellite inspired sculptures that interact with reflected sunlight in the gallery for a duration of the day. Additionally, the windows of the gallery were tinted with the colors of the sky from the images of gila emplacement. Zúñiga uses the image of the sky as an expression of the cosmos that represents a multitude of ideas inspired by Aztec cosmology, Curanderismo, and the observational history of Venus.

About the Artist:
Marcus Zúñiga makes experiential works of art using time-based mediums and the primary use of sunlight. The central theme of the work is locating place within the universe. His works interact with their surroundings to embody the space between the Earth and sky. The artist asserts that looking at the sky is a highly personal experience unique to the time, place, and observer of the sight. Zúñiga received his BFA from the University of New Mexico and MFA from Art Center College of Design. // marcuszunigaart.com
