Mark Manders, Slide Projections

In 2010 – 11 the work of acclaimed Dutch sculptor Mark Manders, a winner of the Dr A.H. Heineken Prize for Art, is touring the USA for the first time, with shows at the Hammer Museum Los Angeles, Aspen Art Museum, the Walker Art Center Minneapolis, and the Dallas Museum of Art. Manders’ work aims to bypass language, gathering existing and self-made objects into tableaux that incorporate figures, animals, household goods, archeological debris and architectural components, and evoke a mysterious world of daydreams and fairy tales. For this travelling exhibition and artist’s book Manders has created an entirely new body of work, including sculpture and works on paper.
