Description
Marisa S. Olson always knew she’d be a star some day. This Fall, she gained worldwide attention while training to audition for American Idol—all of which is documented at marisaolson.com.
With “Overture,” the artist invites you to come journey above the clouds where a star resides. Read the diary of her audition training, see her sculptural comparison of rock concerts and solo shows, let her serenade you in the site-specific audio installation, “It’s All About You,” or peep in on her wet and wild restaging of one of Hollywood’s last big musicals, and—of course—watch the impressive footage from her sadly unaired audition.
Marisa S. Olson has performed and exhibited internationally. She recently participated in an exhibition which Artforum highlighted among their “Best of 2004” and while Wired has called her funny and humorous, the New York Times has called her work "anything but stupid.
