Andrew will be exhibiting his paintings in the East Gallery at D’art Gallery. A dancer, visual artist, and writer of dubious texts, Andrew Marcus founded DISAPPEARANCE in 2010 to explore boundary space between the ordinary, the beautiful, and the sublime. DISAPPEARANCE develops practices to effectively transcend such boundaries; to encourage experience of the magical and the erotic; and to unequivocally engage the real.

Andrew holds an MFA in Dance and Performance from Arizona State University. His experiments with improvisation and somatic practices date to 1980, and he is active internationally. The SCHOOL OF DISAPPEARANCE opened in 2013. In recent years, the body-mind, as both intra and inter-dependent system, enclosed within larger systems, has become a locus of inquiry beyond aesthetic interventions, having moved Disappearance into territories equally of psyche and socio-political space. These movements have been in response to needs of students and individual clients; as well as presence with social struggles and the critical need for transformation of societal structures, with particular attention paid to the most exploited, suppressed and oppressed communities, populations, and the biosphere. Among important current influences are lacanian psychoanalytic perspectives, adult attachment theory, various strands of continental philosophy, marxist and post-marxist theory including investigations of race within systems of power (racial capitalism) and the trauma of the colonial.
