Mary Carter Taub <br /> (415)359-3798 <br /> mary@marycartertaub.com <br /> work has become more oriented toward public art,emphasizing collaboration and participant/viewer <br /> interaction. <br /> Last year I worked on a project called Wallpaper that is similar in material,process and scale as the <br /> Mobile Mural project. Wallpaper was a temporary public artwork in downtown Raleigh,NC on view <br /> for 10 months.The public artwork was a brightly colored vinyl wrap that covered several large <br /> windows of a vacant commercial space. Like Wallpaper,Mobile Mural will use a heat process to <br /> install the weather-resistant and vandal-resistant vinyl directly to the [bus] surface. <br /> This year I worked on two very large-scale site-specific projects that are larger in scale and scope than <br /> Mobile Mural. <br /> Flare(or 8,000 feet of duct tape)is a temporary site-specific installation at the 92nd Street Y in New <br /> York,NY.The show was curated by Carrie Springer of The Whitney Museum of American Art in <br /> conjunction with Skowhegan School of Painting&Sculpture in Spring 2012.Flare(or 8,000 feet of <br /> duct tape)took over the lobby and cafe of the 92 Street Y.It covered nearly 1,000 sq.ft.of the lobby <br /> and cafe using 8,000 feet of fluorescent duct tape. <br /> Earlier this month I worked as an Artist in Residence at Marbles Kids Museum in Raleigh,NC to <br /> create a site-specific work called Connect the Lines. Using 12 miles of neon flagging ribbon and 3 miles <br /> of colored tape,it is a massive work that hundreds of people helped install over 10 days. Placing an <br /> emphasis on line and pattern,the piece spanned both the first and second floors of the Museum. <br /> Connect the Lines was grant funded through the City of Raleigh. <br /> *source:www.townofchapelhill.org <br />
