Opere

"His artworks bring together sourced elements, such as archival photographs culled from private collections and public archives, various industrial fabrics, decommissioned mechanical parts and furniture parts among many other materials, which are then transformed through thoughtful assemblage. Sharing links with the Arte Povera art movement of the late 1960s in its use of socially invested subject matter and everyday materials, Markell’s work takes those materials’ socially situated past lives and connects them with the present. Formally, his work expands on familiar displays of public infrastructure, weathered or erased culturally coded signage, the human instinct to obsessively archive and collect, as well as queer histories both public and private." - Kvadrat, "Ian Markell"
