Marc Kokopeli

Marc Kokopeli (b. 1987) lives and works in New York. His work is overly concerned with how identity is formed during childhood. This could range from the infantilization of the subject, to how artistic discourse can be framed by educational curriculum. Recent work includes the making of Pampertaarten: a materials driven approach to the representation of the unborn child.

Recent solo exhibitions include Die Pampertaarten, Reena Spaulings, New York (2022); Elly 2003-2018, The Wig, Berlin (2021); How to Start a High-School Underground (with Adam Martin), Etablissement D’En Face, Brussels (2019); 90% Years Later, Lomex, New York (2018); Tales of the Veil, Edouard Montassut, Paris (2017); Songs of Hammy’s, Lomex, New York (2016). Recent group exhibitions include La réforme de Pooky, Kunsthalle Friart, Fribourg (2022); The Holding Environment - Parts I & II, Bonner Kunstverein, Bonn (2021).

From July to September 2022, Marc Kokopeli is artist resident in the program Zu Gast bei Urbane Künste Ruhr in Essen.

Lünen

Begleitet wird die Grand Snail Tour von Künstler*innen aus dem Bereich Literatur, Fotografie und Illustration, die zeitgleich zum Aufenthalt des Tourmobils, Eindrücke und Reflexionen aus jeweils derselben Stadt sammeln und diese sie visuell oder literarisch ins Bild setzen. So entsteht ein Paratext zur 3-jährigen Tour, der in Form einer Reisechronik, ein Kaleidoskop an Geschichten, Verbindungen, Momentaufnahmen in den 53 Städten der Region als Gleichzeitigkeiten und Ungleichzeitigkeiten zur Grand Snail Tour sichtbar werden lässt.
