Chapter 32: Marigold Santos

Speaker 0 00:00:00 Chapter 32, mayor Gold Santos. Mayor Gold Santos is a Filipino Canadian artist based in Calgary. I was invited to be part of the exhibition by Alice Ming, y Jim, a curator and art historian at Concordia University in Montreal. You can hear her written reflection on Mayor Gold's work in chapter 36. This chapter will give an overall description of marigold's installation, and the next two chapters will describe specific works within the installation. Then you'll hear from Marigold herself. This chapter is a minute long. Speaker 1 00:00:34 Marigold's installation is in a corner of the high gallery, close to one of the gallery's exits. The ceilings here are six meters high, and you might hear visitors on the floor above as the balcony stretches out into the space above you. The largest part of this installation is a black floral design made of vinyl and applied directly to the gallery wall four meters high. It is four and a half meters in front of you. There are also nine other works hung on the wall, some quite dark that were drawn in charcoal and pastel on paper and others done with ink on paper. There is also one painting on canvas as well as four tall square display cases with seven small ceramic pieces. Speaker 0 00:01:16 Go to the next chapter for information on Santo's. Individual works.
