Marc Brandenburg. 20th Century Debris

The Berlin-based multimedia artist Marc Branden-burg (*1965) has been a regular fixture on the creative scene in Berlin since the 1980s while ranking internationally among the leading graphic artists of our day. His work is a mix of drawing, collage, installation, video and performance. Detailed pencil drawings based on photographs constitute the core. Brandenburg takes these pictures on his forays around the world or else samples them from magazines, films and books. By freely transposing the inverted and distorted images, he creates an abstract view of reality. His drawings point a finger at social wrongs but also at superfluity and consumerism as products of late capitalism. He conveys not so much a narrative as a melancholy or sinister mood, subtly drawing attention to the crises of our time. The major retrospective will be about 150 drawings, videos, tattoo motifs and photographs. With the generous support of the Capital Cultural Fund
