About Trap A Zoid
From Saturday 17th February to 5th March, Mostyn will restage ‘Trap A Zoid’, one of Rosemarie Castoro’s most ambitious public projects on a prominent location on West Shore Beach, Llandudno.
This work has only ever been presented once before, in the late 1970s in New York, and created from around 200 tree trunks. Described by Castoro as a “painting you can walk in”, it will be created for this second iteration using reclaimed, locally sourced and processed timber tree trunks donated by The Timber Cooperative, a local North Wales social enterprise.
Werner Pichler, co-founder of the Estate of Rosemarie Castoro said, “To recreate Trap A Zoid is certainly a wonderful opportunity to bring one of Rosemarie’s large scale installations back to life! Already the photographs that document the installation from 1978 are very powerful. So I am sure that to actually stand in front of that work, life size, will be a remarkable experience. Since there are records of the diagrams which Rosemarie based her installation on, it will be possible to come up with an installation completely true to the artist’s intention. The Estate is very grateful to Mostyn and the Henry Moore Foundation for this extraordinary chance to show one of Rosemarie’s major outdoor art works, alongside with her works that will be shown in the museum”
