Marc Oosting “MCMLXXV”
de Appel, Jongensschool, Eerste Jacob van Campenstraat 59
In 2010 the visual artist Marc Oosting (1975, Biddinghuizen) placed several advertisements in the Dutch art magazine Metropolis M. In an almost imperceptible manner he left certain characteristic abstract signs on each of these pages. The sequence of these signs entitled “MCMLXXV”, spread over a period of time and space in the magazine, is now presented as a whole for the first time in the new bookshop of the Appel Boys’ school.
Marc Oosting lives and works in Amsterdam. He studied sculpture at the Academy of Visual Arts Constantijn Huygens in Kampen, NL. His work has been on show a.o. at De Service Garage, Amsterdam (2009), Galerie Royal, Munich (2009) and tegenboschvanvreden, Amsterdam (2010). He was was nominated for the Prix de Rome and winner of the KPN Art Prix in 2009. Currently Oosting is a resident at the Rijksakademie in Amsterdam.
