Contributed by Lila Gould / “Proserpina / Devil Chaser” at Gordon Robichaux brings together the work of Rosemary Mayer and Ree Morton for the first time, emphasizing their close friendship and uncovering the nuances, affinities and distinctions in their respective practices. At the outset, a piece from the 1975 installation Something in the Wind conveys their closeness. For this public artwork, Morton hand-sewed 100 flags and tied them on the sails of a boat docked at New York’s South Street Seaport. In an exhibition catalog, Morton explained, “I made a flag for each person in my life that I have good feelings for, or who I feel connected to in some way. It was a celebration for them and a means of identifying and locating myself in the world by naming the persons who surround me.”
