1970
From the collection of Museum of Modern Art
Untitled is a 1970 by Marcel Mariën, held at Museum of Modern Art.
This is a world map covered in red lines and scribbles. The land areas are colored in faint yellows and greens, but the red ink stands out everywhere—like a tangled web over Africa, Europe, and Asia. Some places have extra markings, almost like someone was tracing paths or marking borders with urgency. The date in the corner says "Feb. 1970," and the name "Marcel Mariën" is signed at the bottom. The red lines don’t follow roads or coastlines—they look more like a burst of energy or frustration. Check out Marcel Mariën to see how he turned maps into something else.
Marcel Mariën (29 April 1920 – 19 September 1993) was a Belgian surrealist (later Situationist), poet, essayist, photographer, collagist, and filmmaker.
