MARIANNE TRALAU
PERFORMANCE - INSTALLATION BANGKOK

I intend to wind 10,000 meters of red thread around an object that is firmly anchored to the ground (a small house, a pillar, etc ... ) in open air. I call these bound objects myriametric objects. The `myria' is an ancient Greek mathematical definition for 10,000, hence, 1 myriameter = 10,000 meters. The red thread is a continuation of my textile art, which I began with weaving in the 1950s and then expanded into using all kinds of textiles as both ,medium and subject matter of my art. I have sown flags under the motto Art Outdoors", photographed a series of pictures of laundry hanging out to dry, created textile objects and constellations from laundry, and formed `landart' in Ireland and Corsica using a 68 meter long red cloth.
