Claire Weiss Emerging Artist Award Winner Zaq Landsberg "Tomb Effigy of Margaret Corbin" Talks -- 1:15 p.m. & 2:15 p.m. at the Linden Terrace 

Come view "Tomb Effigy of Margaret Corbin" by artist Zaq Landsberg during the Commemoration of the Battle of Fort Washington event. Zaq is the 2020 recipient of the Clare Weiss Emerging Artist Award, made possible with support from Janet and John Koehne, which provided $10,000 to this winning installation. Learn why Zaq was inspired to portray Revolutionary War heroine Margaret Corbin (1751–1800), his intent for the work, his methodology and more. 

 

About Tomb Effigy of Margaret Corbin, by Zaq Landsberg 

Landsberg's winning proposal pays tribute to Revolutionary War hero Margaret Corbin (1751–1800), considered the first woman to fight for America, and namesake of several Fort Tryon Park features. Corbin took control of her fallen husband's cannon and fought during the Battle of Fort Washington at this site in 1776. The artwork takes the form of the tomb effigies at The Met Cloisters, figuratively and aesthetically stitching together the Revolutionary War battlefield and the historical, relocated medieval French abbeys that comprise the Cloisters. In addition to paying homage to a lesser-known female historical figure, Landsberg's sculpture contributes to the contemporary conversation around representation in monuments and public commemoration.
