Marck
(Switzerland, b. 1964）
Marck (Switzerland, b. 1964), a contemporary Swiss artist renowned for Video Sculpture, currently lives and works in Zurich. Marck's unconventional journey led him to enter a prestigious art school at a young age, only to leave due to the inability to tolerate formal education. Subsequently, he engaged in diverse occupations, including auto dismantling, mechanical electrician, rock singer, and tech installation design. Marck's unique life experiences transcend the imagination of conventional academy-trained artists, manifesting in his self-created video sculpture expressions, addressing societal issues through themes of frames, women, viewing, and interaction. in 2019 he was honored with the International Culture Award by Academia Culturale Internazionale Cartagine in Italy. His works have been showcased internationally and collected by significant museums including La Maison Rouge in Paris, St. Petersburg Contemporary Art Museum, the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Istanbul Modern, and the Karlsruhe Center for Art and Media.
