In the project room, Marvelli Gallery is pleased to present There’s more but it’s invisible, a new installation by Samara Golden. The artist’s interest is in making a complex experience that mimics the confusion of being in the world and how an over abundance of choices effect our daily experience.

There’s more but it’s invisible is an installation constructed out of prints of items from Ebay and Blogs, found objects, photos of found objects, mirrors, monitors, video and lighting equipment. The surveillance camera broadcasts live images of the audience onto a monitor within the installation. Samara creates a continuous circuit of transmitting and receiving between sculpture, monitor and viewer. These elements produce a hyper stimulating scenario that allows the freedom to interact with the piece in different ways.

“Another way to see this piece is to say that it is a self-reflective sculpture looking at Itself: The sculpture has a self portrait on its wall and is watching itself on TV…both of which are ways of generating a mediated sense of self identification. These processes reinforce and break down the object as a sovereign being as the sculpture becomes less of an object in its own right, and more of a subject of its own narcissistic gaze—searching for legitimacy in the act of communication.”

Samara Golden lives and works in Los Angeles. She received her MFA from Columbia University in 2009. Recently her work was exhibited at the Sculpture Center, Queens, NY.
