Marc Brandenburg. 20th Century Debris
In the organizer's words:
Berlin-based multimedia artist Marc Brandenburg (*1965) has been an elementary part of Berlin's creative scene since the 1980s and is one of the most important contemporary illustrators internationally. His work moves between drawing, collage, installation, video and performance. The focus is on detailed pencil drawings based on photographic models. Brandenburg captures them on forays through the world or samples them from magazines, films and books. The free transfer of the inverted and distorted image templates creates an abstract image of reality. In his works, Marc Brandenburg takes up the different sides of metropolitan life and reflects its contrasts. His motifs are scenes of everyday urban life: protest trains, homeless people, subculture, superfluous consumer junk and snack food, but also portraits of celebrities who have become symbols of popular culture. In his drawings, he addresses social grievances as well as excess and consumption as effects of late capitalism. What is conveyed is not necessarily a narrative, but a melancholy and ominous mood that subtly refers to the crises of our time.
The comprehensive exhibition presents around 150 works, including recent and very early, rarely shown drawings from the 1990s as well as videos, tattoo sheets and photos.
