A Glorious Bewilderment: Marie Menken’s ‘Visual Variations on Noguchi’

Pairing Visual Variations on Noguchi, projected in its original 16mm format, with a selection of Noguchi’s related sculptures, this exhibition explores the interplay and affinities between these three artists’ practices and celebrate Menken’s invitation to bring the full force of our moving bodies to Noguchi’s work. As Noguchi said, “Sculptures move because we move.” This exhibition, which spans most of the Museum’s second floor, marks the first time the film will be screened at The Noguchi Museum and coincides with the 100th anniversary year of the invention of 16mm film.

A Glorious Bewilderment is organized by Kate Wiener, Curator at The Noguchi Museum.
