On Stage
District 1 - Big Oak Studio
Part 2 of Latitude’s Icon series spotlighting legendary women. While I Was Stuck in the Supermarket’ Homage series, in partnership with the Flaming Lady of Hay Arthouse. Marlene is an award-winning Brooklyn, New York artist and graphic designer working in mixed media, collage, and assemblage.
Weisman has designed work for NYC rock clubs such as the Peppermint Lounge and Tramps, concert venues like The Bottom Line and Beacon Theatre, and for the launch of Stiff America, the American offshoot of UK’s Stiff Records. Marlene worked inhouse as a graphic artist for seven seasons of NBC Televisions Saturday night live, during which time she was awarded an Emmy.
Weisman’s art has been shown and curated into exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, Saatchi’s The Other Art Fair, the Islip Art Museum, BRIC Media House, Established Gallery, Gallery 440, NARS Foundation Gallery, and many other venues. Her work is strongly influenced by 1960s Pop Art, and explores transformation, appropriation, and pop culture. She was inspired to tackle the subject of female empowerment by creating a series of collages that tie in with a something everyone can relate to: a trip to the supermarket. You can find While I Was Stuck in the Supermarket’ Homage series displayed on 2 cubes standing within our new Big Oak Studio. There is also another of Marlene’s amazing artworks which she created for Latitude pasted across the walls of the Lavish Lounge itself this year!
