Marcel Van Eeden

Born in The Hague, Marcel van Eeden lives and works in this city as well as in Zurich and Berlin. Winner of the 2011 Guerlain prize, his works were presented, among others, at the MoMA in New York in 2011and the ZKM in Karlsruhe in 2012.

A storehouse of chaotic stories, snatched from their original context and resuscitated by the artist's compulsive recycling, this visual universe seems affected by a radical form of image collecting, an irrepressible thirst for consuming these images that paradoxically, once quenched, can save them from oblivion. ...
