Mal Ȇtre/Performance presented a new body of work by Swiss artist MarcBauer in his first solo exhibition in a UK public gallery. Bauer’s chosen medium is drawing, which he used to make small and large scale works on paper, a wall drawing and an animation. Marc undertakes extensive research into differing subjects, and there are key themes throughout his work, around nationalism, power, heredity, gender, identity, both using the visual and the written word.
You can also join artist Marc Bauer and Co-Director of Drawing Room Mary Doyle as they take us on a lunchtime tour of the exhibition, on Wednesday 28th April at 1pm.
