Kunstmuseum St. Gallen Marc Bauer
Drawing is Marc Bauer's central means of expression. Born in 1975 in Geneva and currently residing in Berlin, the artist has made a name forhimself in the course of numerous group exhibitions featuring his thematically connected series of dense pencil drawings. Some are small- format, and in others the artist renders his motifs in wall-filling dimensions. The strokes in Bauer's drawings demonstrate a rare and compelling forcefulness, conveying an attitude of urgency and immediacy that goes beyond traditional gestural expression. In his choice of content, he provides unusual glimpses of daily life and history, for example when he investigates with Christine Abbt in "Gegen mein Gehirn. Diskurs des Ungesprochenen" (2007) the historically authenticated meeting between Martin Heidegger and Paul Celan in the Black Forest town of Todtnauberg.
