LANDMARKS PRESENTS NEW COMMISSIONED WORK BY COLOMBIAN ARTIST MONIKA BRAVO
Titled An Interval of Time and sited at University of Texas’ Jackson School of Geosciences, Bravo’s digital animation weaves together geological data with images of Iceland, Colombia, New Mexico and Colorado, looped across three flat screen displays.
A commission that began in 2010, An Interval of Time chronicles the evolution of the artist’s practice over the past decade and underscores her deepening interest in the interwovenness of metaphysical, spiritual and scientific inquiry. With this, Bravo becomes the first female Latinx artist to enter the Landmarks collection and her commission represents Landmarks’ third video installation.
