Pubblicato in occasione della sua quinta mostra personale alla galleria David Zwirner di New York, Even the Ghost of the Past presenta nuovi lavori dell'influente giovane artista canadese Marcel Dzama, compreso un DVD di cortometraggi originali. Un favorito tra le scene artistiche, letterarie e musicali indie, Dzama è meglio conosciuto per le sue composizioni figurative a penna e acquerello su carta “color manila”. Con una caratteristica tavolozza di marroni smorzati, grigi, verdi e rossi, i disegni di Dzama sono popolati da un ampio cast di personaggi umani, animali e ibridi. Negli ultimi anni, Dzama ha esteso la sua pratica per includere più media artistici. Una recente mostra, per esempio, ha trasformato la galleria in un ode all'immaginazione, pieno di disegni, sculture, diorami e film. Con un'intervista all'artista da parte del regista Spike Jonze il volume è progettato in collaborazione con l'artista come due libri cartonati rilegati in uno con un disegno personalizzato sulla copertina, Even the Ghost of the Past è destinato a diventare un oggetto da collezione immediato. Published on the occasion of his fifth solo exhibition at David Zwirner gallery in New York, Even the Ghost of the Past presents new work by the influential young Canadian artist Marcel Dzama--including a DVD of original short films. A favorite among the art, literary and indie music scenes, Dzama is best known for his figurative compositions of pen and watercolor on manila-colored paper. Bearing a characteristic palette of muted browns, greys, greens and reds, Dzama's drawings are populated by an expansive cast of human, animal and hybrid characters. In recent years, Dzama has extended his practice to include work in multiple media. A recent exhibition, for example, transformed the gallery into an odeum of imagination, replete with drawings, sculptures, dioramas and films. Featuring an interview with the artist by filmmaker Spike Jonze and designed in collaboration with the artist as two hardback books twin-bound into one with a custom drawing on the cover, Even the Ghost of the Past is destined to become an instant collector's item.
