Who is Mark Manders?

Mark Manders is a Dutch artist. He was born in 1968 in Volkel, Netherlands. At first, he studied graphic design until age eighteen. He changed his mind and decided to be a writer but with objects instead of words. He became very interested in the paralleled evolution of humans and objects. Manders's body of work consists mainly of installations, drawings, sculptures and short films. Typical of his work is the arrangement of random objects, such as tables, chairs, light bulbs, blankets and dead animals. He is best known for his rough-hewn clay sculptures. Manders is represented by Tanya Bonakdar Gallery in New York.
