Marc Brandenburg (*1965) ranks 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. His drawings pick up on the contrasts of urban life and 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 170 drawings, videos, tattoo editions and photographs.
With the generous support of the Capital Cultural Fund
