The Man From Brancheville
Artist Statement
Janice Mauro and Joanne Pagano Weber have different motivations for creating work: Janice has always believed in creating art which provides a path toward a spirituality so often lacking in today’s world. Joanne feels that the psychological component of art is a never-ending horizon to discover.
As collaborators, we are presenting an environment with which we want viewers to become involved, feel the moment, and reflect. The psychic resonance for viewers seeing their own, and their ancestors’ history in this work, and the drive toward the spirit, which we, as a race, must continue to survive, is what ties this work together. We believe in veiling these serious motivations with humor, admitting our part in the evils we warn of and fear.
The Man From Brancheville
The story of the disinterred Robotic man and the artifacts found in his tomb are described in the video above. The Man from Brancheville was also shown at Art 101, Williamsburg, Brooklyn in 2006 and BWAC, Brooklyn. The mythology continues with exhibitions at the Silvermine Galleries, New Canaan, Director’s Choice in 2009 and Art 101 at the same time. This show was entitled The Tidal Decade.
