Description:
Since the early seventies Denmark (Marc Robbroeckx) has been cutting up, dissecting and (re-) assembling books, magazines and newspapers. His archive installations are a critical reaction to the overload of information with which we are confronted on a daily basis, opposing the abundance of information, symbolised by the gigantic masses of discarded - and often unused - paper. These surplus newspapers, magazines, books, and archives are cut up, folded, glued, bound, pressed, sanded, and ground,... by the artist to create new visual archives, no longer for consulting but purely for viewing beauty as resistance to excess. 240 x 170 x 40 mm
The new book 'anarchives' once again provides a sober and in-depth overview of the artist's many years of practice.
