BIOGRAPHY
Marie Lorenz’s work is rooted in the exploration and narrative of New York City’s waterfronts. Combining psycho-geographic exploration with highly crafted, material forms, Lorenz uses boats to create an uncertain space and bring about a heightened awareness of place. In 2005, she started her Tide and Current Taxi project, taking people around the New York Harbor in a boat built from salvaged materials, using the tide to guide her navigation.
COURSES TAUGHT
During spring quarter 2025, Lorenz taught the undergraduate course "ART129: Advanced Printmaking" and the graduate seminar "ART 227". ART129 explored new formats using monoprint, relief, silkscreen, and intaglio techniques while expanding ideas about the print and the use of multiples. Lorenz gave a public lecture on Thursday, April 10, 2025 at the Manetti Shrem Museum. Her residency concluded with A BowerHaus for a Post-Anthropocene World, a novel musical and visual work devised by student artists together with visiting artists that sought to address the urgency of habitat remediation and protection. The work uses an imagined narrative of the arboretum before humans, during humans (the “Anthropocene”), and after humans. A recording of the event is available via this link.
