Mark Creegan is an artist, curator, and educator in Jacksonville, FL. He is co-director of nullspace gallery.
I make intuitive and improvisatory works that may take the form of sculpture and installations, performances, and web-based works. Involved in all is a consideration and manipulation of seemingly banal materials, images, sounds, and objects in order to reveal some innate formal aspect or cultural meaning. Works are often contingent and site-responsive and consist of materials used in pared-down or distilled arrangements. I am interested in creating a degree of emotional charge by combining the abject with the elegant, and by reusing the neglected discard. This can take the form of graceful cascades of cut-out paint can drippings, formations made with hairnets and shark’s teeth, or recombined visual or sound elements found online. Ultimately, I am after a sense of play and intelligent, visual wit.
