Mark Garry and Bart Lodewijks
Mark Garry
Born 1972, Mullingar, Ireland. Based in Ireland, Garry’s work stems from a fundamental interest in observing how humans navigate the world and the subjectivity inherent in these navigations. While Mark uses a variety of media and mechanisms in his practice he primarily focuses on institution-based installations. These delicately considered site- specific installations are measured and quiet, requiring meticulous systems of construction. They combine physical, visual, sensory and empathetic analogues, creating arrangements of elements that intersect the space and form relationships between a given room and each other.
Bart Lodewijks
Bart Lodewijks (NL 1972) makes chalk drawings in public and private spaces and writes about the process. During long work periods in Glasgow, Lisbon, Porto, Willemstad, Ghent, Ronse and Rio de Janeiro, his chalk drawings became deeply embedded in the social fabric of the city. Drawings and texts come together in publications.
