For this extensive series of European exhibitions of Mark Mander's work to date, he has arranged his installations around a central space, which, combined with works from 1990 to 2007, enable the presentation of a comprehensive overview of his existing oeuvre.

At once a personal narrative and an encyclopedic gathering of material, Dutch artist Mark Manders' "Self-Portrait" began its life as a building in 1986. Since then, Manders has exhibited fragments of the project, an array of created and found objects, furniture, sculpture and drawings, keeping it in constant flux, changing its order with each showing.

A catalogue of the extensive retrospective exhibition ?The Absence of Mark Manders? at the Bonnefanten Museum, Maastricht. The rooms in the exhibition can be regarded as the spaces of the artist?s ongoing work ?Self-portrait as a building?. The works have been ?left behind? by the artist in three different zones: the visitor enters a living room, then the museum, and finally the studio. According to Manders, all of these works are interchangeable and can be put into a different context, ?like words in a sentence can also be used in different combinations?. A text by Douglas Fogle focuses on the role of language in Manders?s oeuvre. 00Exhibition: Bonnefanten Museum, Maastricht, The Netherlands (04.02.? 23.08.2020).
