The artistic work of Marcel van Eeden (b. 1965) is part of a long-term project. He makes drawings based on images from newspapers and magazines that date before his birth. By using source imagery and real objects from the past he questions our perception about fact and fiction and creates a ‘negative self-portrait’ composed of notes from a past he could not have experienced himself.
His work has been shown in major museums including Museum of Modern Art, New York; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; Centre Pompidou, Paris; Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam. This fall he will have a solo exhibition at the Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdam.
