BIO

Myrthe van der Mark (b. 1989, the Netherlands) exposes personal endeavors, with a focus on how textual elements and visual fragments are integrated into
exhibitions and performances. She uses actions and objects to evoke direct, personal associations, thereby emphasizing the context in which the work is shown. Both present and absent components of the work explore and investigate various forms of communication.

CMMC

In collaboration with Céline Mathieu, her artist duo CMMC performs rapidly altering emotions, text and long stretches of synchronised gestures. Over the seven years of their collaboration the practice has evolved to a series often thick and meta, conceptual replies to the invitations they receive.
