Artist Statement:
Mark Nakamura is interested in
producing documentation of
fictions as a strategy to
create works that focus on
ideas rather than physical
objects. In doing so, he
intends to insert
actions/events into the past,
rewriting history. This is
often done by working
backwards, first producing the
ephemera that results from art
exhibitions, eventually
leading up to the creation of
physical artworks (if
appropriate for the project).
By producing art referents or
semantic/semiotic modifiers,
though it may result in a
material form in itself, his
works often reside in the
space outside of the art
object. Nakamura is also
interested in collaborations
that result in atypical gift
economies. For example, he may
present his services in a
giving gesture with the
results that have self-serving
implications that put his
intentions and the
collaboration dynamic into
question....
