"New Visionary" Magazine Issue 9,

 
 

"Marcie Begleiter uses photography, painting, sculpture, and video to catalog a future that hasn’t yet come to pass. She imagines the world that may follow our own, which is undergoing radical shifts as a result of climate change. Her recent project “A History of the Post-Anthropocene” includes photographs of real and constructed habitats, which are staged with found and altered natural objects, ceramic forms, and painted landscapes. The resulting images are reminiscent of displays in natural history museums—scientific studies of invented organisms.

Hers is a fantasy of an ecosystem that continues to mutate and thrive, perhaps long after we are gone, embracing both the sadness of what is unfolding and the unexpected renewal it could bring about. Begleiter is an award-winning artist whose work has been exhibited extensively, both nationally and internationally. She directed and produced the documentary “Eva Hesse,” which premiered at the Whitney Museum in 2015 and went on to play in dozens of cities worldwide."
