Canadian born Los Angeles-based artist Mark Verabioff is known for distinctive conversations using word as image. Since 1985 the artist has been in a highly committed relationship with the critical interrogation of form and its social-political capabilities. The work has been identified with video, site- and situationist-based performative-actions, and context art. His circuitous relationship between language, aesthetics and content, moves in and out of logic, absurdity, provocation and seduction.
Mark Verabioff was born in Kingston, Ontario, Canada in 1963. The artist studied Intermedia, Video & Performance Art at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (1981-1985) and The Banff Centre for the Arts (1984.) The artist's work has been featured in Artforum, C Magazine, Flash Art, Frieze, Parachute, and The New York Times.
