Missoula Art Museum to Open “Good Girls 1968” a Marilyn Lysohir Installation
Missoula, MT –
Missoula Art Museum (MAM) / Good Girls 1968
is an installation that consists of over 160 ceramic
portraits of young women with whom Marilyn Lysohir graduated from high
school. The installation involved reconnecting through hours on the
phone with many of the girls captured in the portraits. Lysohir is a renowned
ceramicist and although Good Girls 1968 is grounded and created from one person’s point of view, this
exhibition transcends the personal and discovers its impact while touching the
audience’s cultural memory and reminiscences. On view 5 March through 30
May, 2010. Artist Reception and Gallery Talk: March 5, 5-8
pm.
