ชีวประวัติ

Born in 1975 in Geneva, Switzerland, Marc Bauer lives and works in Amsterdam and Berlin. Bauer’s drawings, installations and videos suggest a mix of childhood memories and fantasies that repeatedly transgress taboos. His works unsettle a traditional understanding of morality, disrupting landmarks of social behavior. By using deliberately simple lines, Bauer lends his disturbing subject matter a mundane quality. This technique reminds viewers of the commonplace nature of violent acts, often committed in anonymous living rooms close by. With reference to his series on teenagers “Happier Healthier” (2004), Bauer has said: “How to behave in front of these images? Please, keep up appearances pretend that these drawings are funny, but don't be fooled, it might serious, it might have happened”.

Marc Bauer has recently presented solo exhibitions at The Astronaut (2013); Centre Culturel Suisse, Paris. Le Collectionneur (2013); La Station, Nice. Pleins Pouvoirs, septembre (2012); Musée d'art de Pully, with Sara Masüger, Lausanne. Le ravissement mais l'aube, déjà (2012);Kunsthaus Baselland, Muttenz/Basel.
