Mark Moore Gallery is thrilled to announce that the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) recently confirmed its acquisition of gallery artist Allison Schulnik’s award-winning work titled Mound, (2011). Featuring an array of hand-sculpted and sewn puppets, the labor-intensive piece took over eight months, at times requiring 2 hours to create a single frame. The musical accompaniment to the film is “It’s Raining Today,” graciously lent by legendary singer-songwriter Scott Walker. Originally released in 1969, the moody melodramatic song perfectly reflects the simultaneous solidarity and isolation in her world of “rejects, misfits and their landscapes.”
Congratulations, Allison!
