About the Program
Marcus Bowcott's Palimpsest is a performance that results in an installation in the gallery. An image of a bull painted by Paleolithic cave artists is projected onto the side of a large bull in the darkened gallery. Installation includes photographs, videos, and other documentation of the performance. The installation embodies 20,000 years of image compression, it relates the prehistoric to the modern, the ethereal to the concrete, the wild to the captive, desire to attainment, and projection to reflection.Performance: February 12, 1999
