"All these memories have gone up the ceiling and are hanging off the corners of the room." — Helen Marden
Helen Marden (b. 1941, Pittsburgh) is a distinguished artist represented by Gagosian Gallery. Her work draws profound inspiration from her extensive travels to Greece, India, and Morocco. She maintains several studios, including one on the island of Hydra, where she and her late husband, painter Brice Marden, established a home in the 1970s.
Mnemosyne Projects and Art Rug Projects by Soutzoglou invited Helen Marden to explore carpet as a medium, especially for this exhibition. Inspired by memories of Hydra Island, Marden's intuitive watercolors were transformed into hand-made carpets by Soutzoglou's expert artisans. This unique collaboration fused traditional craftsmanship with contemporary artistic vision, creating a dialogue between past and present.
