SANTA MONICA, CA.- Christopher Grimes Projects announced their representation of Marco Brambilla.

Marco Brambilla is a London-based artist known for his elaborate re-contextualizations of popular and found imagery, as well as his pioneering use of digital imaging technologies in video installation and art.

The artist's work explores the emotional and cultural dislocation that has been enabled and accelerated in our media-centric society. Brambilla's use of scale and familiar imagery found throughout his site-specific digital collages immerse the viewer in captivating dreamscapes. Much of his work uses found film footage that is edited, layered, and spliced to create compelling new narratives and stunning visual mosaics. With exquisite technical production and seamless editing, Brambilla’s multi-layered tableaux of interconnecting images and looped video blend into an expansive landscape that forms his hallmark style. 

Notable collaborations include 7 Deaths of Maria Callas, an opera by Marina Abramović first presented at the Opéra National de Paris, France; and Pélleas et Mélisande, presented by the Opera Vlaanderen in Antwerp, Belgium.
 
Brambilla (b. 1960, Milan, Italy) works and lives in London and Paris. He has held solo exhibitions in museums and institutions around the world and is in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, Guggenheim Museum (New York); San Francisco Museum of Modern Art; ARCO Foundation (Madrid); and the Corcoran Gallery of Art (Washington D.C). Notable shows include New Museum, New York; Santa Monica Museum of Art (Retrospective); Seoul Biennial, Korea; Broad Art Museum; and Borusan Contemporary, Istanbul; Kunsthalle Bern, Switzerland. Brambilla has worked with Creative Time and Art Production Fund in New York to present public art installations, including his Nude Descending Staircase No.3 (2019) presented at Oculus WTC by Art Production Fund during Frieze New York. Brambilla is a recipient of the Tiffany Comfort Foundation and Tiffany Colbert Foundation awards. His work has been featured at the Venice Film Festival and Sundance Film Festivals, as well as Fondation Beyeler in Basel, Switzerland.

I believe what is mainstream today has largely become relevant simply as a result of exposure and distribution, while content itself has been pushed to the margins and is often generic. By saturating the work with production value, the visual impact comes close to the point of sensory overload. In doing so, I conceivably subvert the subject while elevating it into something more mythic and iconic than it would be in its original context.” -Marco Brambilla
