Exhibitions

The New Yorker wrote
"The most prepossessing is an energetic performance by...Vitale, who...harangues 'patrons' with colorfully worded...insults and commands. The provoked notion of contemporary art as an arena of sadomasochism is just cogent enough to chill, a trifle."

Vitale's ongoing sculptural series of Burned Bridges has been part of several solo gallery and museum exhibitions including ''What I Need to Do Is Lighten The Fuck Up About A Lot of Shit'' at Zach Feuer; ''Bright Dark Future'' at Le Confort Moderne; ''If You Expect To Rate as a Gentleman, Do Not Expectorate On the Floor'' at Unge Kunstneres Samfund; ''Lost Marbles'' at Le Marbrerie, Montreuil; and ''Huey, Dewey & Louie'' at Kunstraum Innsbruck.

Her solo show, ''Diamond Crossing'' at Zach Feuer (2013), was applauded by the New York Times' Ken Johnson a


For the Performa '13 Biennial, Vitale was commissioned to produce ttp://13.performa-arts.org/event/marianne-vitale ''The Missing Book of Spurs'' a performance set in a "saloon/ rothelweather station."

Other venues that have exhibited Vitale's work include Venus Over Los Angeles, The Contemporary Austin, The Journal Gallery, Karma, Various Small Fires, the Elaine de Kooning House, the Rubell Family Collection, Kling & Bang, White Columns, Brooklyn Museum, Contemporary Fine Arts Berlin, Mosquito Coast Factory and Contemporary Art Centre Vilnius.

From April 2014 through March 2015, Vitale's outdoor sculptural exhibition ''Common Crossings'' was presented on the High Line in New York City, curated by Cecilia Alemani.
