As part of Creative Times's ongoing program of video art, At 44 1/2, shown on MTV’s gilded, outdoor, HD billboard in Times Square, Marilyn Minter has curated an exhibition that investigates what she calls “the pathology of glamour." Chewing Color strikes a delicate balance between beauty and disgust with Patty Chang’s Fan Dance, (2003), Kate Gilmore’s Star Bright, Star Might, (2007), and Marilyn Minter’s Green Pink Caviar, 2009.

GREEN PINK CAVIAR THE TRAILER AT SUNSHINE CINEMA

Green Pink Caviar Trailer
Sunshine Cinema
Midnight Screenings
April 24 - June 13

Using the strategy of movie advertising, Marilyn Minter has created a 60-second trailer which will be screened before midnight showings in conjunction with her solo exhibition Green Pink Caviar (2009), at Salon 94. A continuing exploration of blurring boundaries, this trailer continues a trajectory that began in 1989 when she bought 30-second commercial slots on David Letterman, Arsenio Hall, and a Nightline with Ted Koppel to advertise her exhibition, Food Porn Commercials, as well as her 2006 billboard series which accompanied the 2006 Whitney Biennial.

GREEN PINK CAVIAR AT SALON 94

Green Pink Caviar
New Photographs and Paintings by Marilyn Minter
Salon 94 Freemans
April 28 - June 13

Continuing her critique of the underbelly of glamour, for her second solo exhibition, Green Pink Caviar at Salon 94. Marilyn Minter will present monumental paintings alongside large scale photographs. By showing extreme close ups of tattooed and freckled skin, mouths blowing bubbles and tongues licking candy her work undermines our cultural taste for the clean and flawless. Playing with her own vocabulary of zooming and focusing in and out of the body, Minter finds the exact moment before the bubble bursts, the sweat dries or the candy melts. Minter’s monumental 15-foot painting, Pop Rocks, her largest to date, she explores the idea of painting with the tongue. Directing her models to lick brightly colored candies, Minter shot photos from underneath a glass plate.  The tongues mixed the ‘paint’ with saliva, slurping and pushing the color around the glass surface.  The result of this very Minter-esque action paintings are featured in two photographs, in which the models seem to regurgitate their own makeup, Gimmie and Chewing Pink.
