Description from the seller
This is a three-dimensionally framed work by the artist Denmark, the pseudonym of Marc Robbroeckx (born in Wilrijk, July 8, 1950), a Belgian visual and installation artist. His work takes the form of visual archives and critically examines the mass production of print media within the media landscape, as well as the information overload arising from it. In this work, all the pages of the Freizeit revue magazine are folded and attached to the canvas.
Dimensions: 28 x 22 cm
Dimensions with frame: 56 x 46 cm
Denmark lives and works in Prouvy, Luxembourg. His artist's name is a contraction of 'den Mark'. In 1977 he received the Prize for Young Belgian Painting at the Palace of Fine Arts in Brussels for his cut-and-edited newspaper works. A year later he had his first solo exhibitions at the International Cultural Centre in Antwerp and at Galerie MTL in Brussels.
Numerous solo exhibitions followed in Belgium and abroad, not only in galleries and museums, but also in libraries. Significant early presentations took place in the library of the Van Abbe Museum in Eindhoven (1979), the Reading Hall of the Wallraf-Richartz-Museum in Cologne (1983), and the City Library in the Wilhelmspalais in Stuttgart. In 1985, Denmark's work was included in Livres d’artistes, a group exhibition in the library of the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris. That same year he had his first major retrospective exhibition of archive installations at the Musée d’Art Moderne in Liège, followed by presentations at the Neues Museum Weserburg in Bremen (1994) and MUHKA in Antwerp (1995).
