Artist dialogue: Marcos Valella

Contemporary artist Marcos Valella and Claire Kovacs, director of the Augustana Teaching Museum of Art,  will discuss Valella's work,  including Interlay, his current project at the museum.

Interlay interrupts the viewer’s experience of the exhibition "Världen är liten/The World is Small" by infusing some of the counters (the area of a letter that is entirely enclosed by a letter form) with color. A filter of colored counters is interlaid over all of the exhibition text’s labels, wall didactics, interpretive text, posters, and all related digital materials. Interlay is the most recent iteration of a series of Valella’s investigations around the idea of merely occupying a space of painting.
