Artist in Residence 2009
Dillan Marsh
(*1980, Bristol, UK)
|
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
By means of objects, drawings and videos Dillan Marsh from Great Britain creates a world that the observer is invited to enter. The works are considered to be components of a larger project and thus never actually finished. Working outside his locality helps him to exchange ideas and widen his horizons.
Dillan Marsh studied Art and Design with an emphasis on photography at York College and received his BA in Fine Art at the University of Bristol. He received an Erasmus Placement for the Hochschule der Kuenste, Berlin and was awarded residency stipends from several institutions in the UK and the US.
In Dortmund the artist has realized his "Book Project" for which he constructed a machine for processing books into raw material that could serve for construction and as a low-cost fuel. Similar processes of recycling and converting have already before been part of his work, yet ecological issues are not his core interest. His subject is the situation of books as an endangered species in a scenario of immanent recession, rising fuel prices and potential climatic catastrophes and their processing in a time where surviving has taken over the need to preserve knowledge and culture.
The images show the final presentation in his studio. |

* German for "early retirement"
In the past the working period of people frequently
lasted until shortly before their death. As
a consequence of an increased life expectancy
in the modern world, senior citizens have lot
more time at their own disposal. In a sense,
man have created time for himself. Anna Gonzalez
studied this man-created time. During the work
process of "Vorruhestand" she got
to know the life of senior citizens: In a first
part she participated in the summer activities'
program of the Wilhelm-Hansmann-Haus; then,
in a second part, she became an inhabitant of
the seniors' residency.
