About Helen Marten
Born in Macclesfield, UK, in 1985, Helen Marten is an artist and writer who works across sculpture, painting, drawing, video, and writing to create work that questions the stability of the material world and our place within it. From 2004 to 2005 she studied at Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts, London, and in 2008 she graduated from the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art, University of Oxford. She is an honorary fellow of Exeter College, Oxford.
Alluding to ideas, systems, and experiences, Marten’s work investigates how we exist and understand the world around us. What at first glance appear to be found objects are actually sculptural entities handcrafted by the artist. Marten is the author of a novel, The Boiled in Between (2020). She is currently working on a second novel, A Polite History of Vandalism, and a book of unruly essays on containers, Broken Villas.
