By Invitation Only: Lynne Marsh on her upcoming exhibition in LA and the career advice she would give her younger self

You have an exhibition opening next weekend in Los Angeles, could you tell us a little more about it?

Yes! The exhibition is titled Standing Death Backward. It opens at council_st, a project space in Los Angeles, and runs from June 7th to July 5th. I’ll be presenting an installation of three life-size figurative sculptures, each milled using a CNC (Computer Numerical Control) machine from digital scans of real-life performers.

It’s a show about violence and gravity—about the violence of capture, the deficiencies of rendering, and the infrastructural failures that underpin digital life. The figures—blocky and approximate—are toppled over, pressing against the wall and collapsing onto the floor, as if gravity returned the moment they fell out of the software.
