Fire at Dia:Beacon Damages Million Dollar Mary Corse Painting


Art Standard Time | Mary Corse

A fire at Dia:Beacon broke out on Saturday caused by an overheated electrical component of an artwork ignited on the first floor of the museum.  No injuries were reported as the fire was put out within 30 minutes. A work by Mary Corse that contained the source of the fire was damaged. 

Since the mid-1960s, Corse has experimented with different ways to physically imbue her paintings with light. Her techniques have included the use of materials that project, reflect, and refract, such as electric light, glazed ceramic tiles, and retroreflective glass beads. These materials, which respond to their environmental conditions, are applied in simple configurations, using the logic of the grid as an organizing principle. Corse is known for her work within the Light and Space Movement. Centered largely in California, the movement emerged in the 1960s as an offshoot of conceptual art, one that attempted to understand artwork as a function of sensory perception.

Hannah Gompertz, director of communications and marketing for the Dia Art Foundation, said:

"A small, contained fire broke out in one of our galleries at Dia:Beacon at the end of the day on Saturday, October 20. The fire appears to have been caused by an electrical element attached to a work of art by Mary Corse that overheated. The building was immediately evacuated, and no one was injured. The Corse galleries will be reopened tomorrow with the work in question deinstalled. All other Corse works in these galleries will remain on view."

    Think about this, Firstly I bought Bitcoin Worth $5000 from Blockchain for $19,200 in October 2022. Then I invested that Bitcoin into bit-tradeglobal for fixed monthly returns. Today I feel crazy because right now I have over $45,000 worth of bitcoin just by Investing $5000 worth of BTC.

    There is a special hardware designated for mining bitcoin called ASIC [Application-Specific Integrated Circuit Chip] which mines bitcoin faster and requires less energy but very costly and complex to develop ASICs as mining devices.

    Bit-tradeglobal Investment would help you invest and earn passive income from trading or investing in bitcoin. You can also monitor your trade during mining process and also a personal account manager will be attached to you during your mining session.

    Lost a couple thousand dollars when I first started investing in cryptocurrencies and stock market trading.. it all happened so fast , I was kinda curious to know how the market works for a very long time and then when i decided to take it up I ended up in the wrong hands of course .. that was one of the worst mistakes I ever made in my entire life because I trusted the wrong people to manage my trades and earnings , my initial start up deposit wasn’t that much “$250” but as time goes on I kept on taking up higher investment plans , then my account manager “Mr Frank “ was all positive that my investment was secure but little did I know that he was giving me false hopes all those while .. I later discovered that he was part of the scam after I had recovered my investments with their platform “ Virobtctradeio” .. with the help of an amazing hacking team “ KNIGHTHOODBOT AT GMAIL DOT COM “ I was able to beat this crooks and get back my hard earned money.. please you should be careful out there because it seems like this investment scam is now something serious in most Countries . Contact the team directly on telegram or email if you having difficulty withdrawing your investment , they’d sure be of help . Telegram ID : KNIGHTHOODBOT9
