In his sculptures, installations, drawings and videos, Marc Swanson explores overt conceptual and material dualities, such as urban and rural, masculine and feminine, and the personal and mythic. Putting the issues of camp, nostalgia and sentimentality at the forefront of his practice, he synthesizes these supposedly oppositional relationships to challenge conventional definitions and hierarchies. Swanson’s recent exhibitions include shows at Contemporary Arts Museum Houston, Saint Louis Art Museum, Walker Art Center, Saatchi Gallery, Seattle Art Museum, and the Museum of Arts and Design.

Marc Swanson, Untitled (White Corner), 2011, wood, mirror, paint, stain, fabric, plaster, and photograph, 82” x 40” x 28”.
