Gavin Brown's enterprise is pleased to present Mark Handforth�s fifth solo exhibition at the gallery. �I let objects collapse, and through their destruction they are transformed. So, in a sense, through their destruction they are reborn. It�s a creative act beginning with failure. In this failure things become something else-and that something else is often much more beautiful and interesting than the original.� Mark Handforth

He studied at the Staatliche Hochschule f�r Bildende K�nste, St�delschule in Frankfurt am Main (State College of Fine Art) and at the Slade School of Fine Art in London.
