Biography
An unoccupied building in a peripheral area of a highly-gentrified city, a cultural centre close to the sea, and a microhabitat around a pond are systems activated from the inside by Marrese.
Working within the performance art scene in Eastern Europe, developing environmental art in contact with traditional practice to use fire to control the growth of vegetation in Southern Italy, and developing installations in theatres and former governance buildings in Germany, he traces a method with the compass of artistic research.
He works through commissions and artist-in-residence programs.
Marrese participated in artist residencies and exhibited at institutions including: Künstlerstadt Kalbe (residency grant), Germany; Landschafts- und Kunstverein Rietzer Berg (residency), Germany; Soulkostel (residency), Czech Republic; Theater Expedition Metropolis, Germany; AKT, Art-Zavod Platforma, Ukraine; Institute of Automation, Ukraine; Centro Boliviano Americano, Bolivia; Umbral espacio de arte, Argentina; Edge Gallery, Bangladesh; Kaņepes Kultūras centrs, Latvia; Free Riga Creative Hive D27, Latvia; Vaskerelven 8, Norway.
He is the author of an essay published by DISTANZ for OÖ Landes-Kultur.
