Bio
Marc Dentand was born in France and currently lives and works in Berlin.
He studied Business Administration at the ESCP in Paris, and his professional career developed in high finance in Switzerland, the UK and Uruguay.In Montevideo, a radical change occurred in his professional and personal life. There, he joined the FAC, the Contemporary Art Foundation, studied art and photography, shared spaces with renowned artists from the region and began to develop work focused on visual practices.
His early profession and his nomadic life are significantly intertwined with his work as a visual artist. His conceptual focus lies in understanding and analyzing the different forms of power. Interpellate the intersections between money and technologies, the construction of the place of the dominated and dominant, and the inequality and dystopia that we have reached in contemporary societies.
Since 2012, he has exhibited in galleries, alternative spaces and international fairs. He began with an exhibition of his work in Thonon-les-Bains, in a house designed in collaboration with Kaufmann Widrig Architekten. A construction that reveals his mastery of spaces and construction materials. With “Le nouveau riche” in 2018, he consolidates a reflective and inquisitive line of work. He exhibited at the Uxval Gochez Gallery in Barcelona, JUST/LX in Lisbon and Arte in Nuvola in Rome, in Espacio M in Punta del Este (Urugay) and in a collective exhibition under curation of Jacqueline Lacasa at Espacio Vedi, in Montevideo.
