Lobby & Rotunda

Multimedia artists Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese, known collectively as LigoranoReese, have worked across various media throughout their 40-year collaboration. Their projects often engage with current events, ranging from public monuments made of ice that intentionally melt in place to fiber optic data tapestries that respond to the real-time flow of digital information. Their latest works, featured in Sympoiesis: Co-Creating Sense of Place, explore the exhibition’s central theme of collaborative creation and the dynamic, interconnected systems that shape our world. Vanishing Finish – comprised of 49 cyanotype prints of endangered species – is installed in the Art Museum’s lobby. The rotunda gallery features Borrowed Time, a series of six clocks, each with a lenticular face presenting before-and-after images of a natural disaster. LigoranoReese’s work highlights how art can act as both a reflection and a catalyst for deeper engagement with the world around us.
