Mark Jenkins (USA)

The American artist, Mark Jenkins (b. 1970) is predominantly working with the profane material of packing tape, he employs to take casts of his body and everyday objects, such as children's playthings.

He creates transparent, fragile looking figures of child- and animal dolls, tearing down road signs or populating urban green areas. On occasion the stuffed cast of his body is presented in dressed, life-size sculptures, which are planted in the urban environment, irritating everyday routines. Public space is for Jenkins an embattled territory with shifting boundaries and hybrid networks between city, art, advertising, brand names, individual and collective claims for sovereignty: "Public space is a battleground, with the government, advertisers and artists all mixing and mashing".

Mark Jenkins lives in Washington, D.C. He operates the website, tapessculptures.org and holds ongoing workshops in connection with his international exhibitions.
