Marlo Pascual: Making Something Out of Something, the first solo museum exhibition of Pascual’s work in 15 years, introduces viewers to an artist who developed a practice of manipulating found images, creating works that blur the line between photography and sculpture. Pascual worked in the tradition of the “Pictures” generation of artists, such as Barbara Kruger and Cindy Sherman, and recognition of her work was just gaining momentum when she died of cancer at the age of 48 in 2020.

Marlo Pascual (1972 to 2020) created photo-based works that amuse, confuse, and provoke viewers. Pascual primarily used found imagery of anonymous and often glamorous women from vintage or thrifted sources, which she then dramatically remixed or recontextualized with the addition of sculptural elements. Drawn from NMWA’s collection, Marlo Pascual: Making Something Out of Something presents 17 of Pascual’s works made between 2009 and 2014.
