LIVING COLOR is a discussion of the genesis, evolution and environmental impact of Parallel Park, one of the largest and most transformative permanent art installations in the United States of the past decade. Dintenfass will discuss her work, its tantalizing, lucious, gestural ambiguity and its underlying critical and precise thinking. Dintenfass will discuss artwork throughout her long career of creating paintings, works on paper and large scale installations, including her recent monumental site-specific installation, Parallel Park. Parallel Park focuses on Dintenfass’ visceral love affair with stylish, sexy, shiny, speedy, supercharged automobiles with their screaming engines, smoking tires, steamy Saturday night backseats and the squealing delight cars bring to life. The artist will show images of her work, discuss her art, and the energy that motivates her image making.

Marylyn Dintenfass Parallel Park
Thursday, February 2nd, 2012, 6:30-8:30PM
Marylyn Dintenfass will discuss the genesis, evolution and environmental impact of Parallel Park— one of the largest permanent art installations in the United States of the past decade. Author Aliza Edelman will also participate in the event to provide a broader historical and contextual perspective on Marylyn Dintenfass’ artwork and Parallel Park.
Showing images of her work and the energy that motivates her image making, Dintenfass will expand upon her accomplished artistic career, focusing on her 27th monumental site-specific installation. At 30,000 square feet, Parallel Park—celebrating its one-year anniversary—innovatively uses Kevlar and aluminum to create a narrative frieze that metaphorically and viscerally expresses the artist’s life-long love affair with the culturally iconic automobile.
Described by Donald Miller of ARTnews as having “raised a parking garage in Fort Myers, Florida to art status” in the January 2012 issue, Dintenfass will discuss the intersection of architecture, design, sculpture, painting and print-making in the development, partnership and transformation of this remarkable project.
