London, UK artist David Mach
avid Mach studied at the Duncan of
Jordanstone College of Art then at the Royal College of Art in London.
Following several shows and public installations, Mach was nominated for
the Turner Prize in 1988. In 2000 he joined the Royal Academy of Arts
as Professor of Sculpture. Mach’s artistic style is based on flowing
assemblages of mass-produced found art objects. Typically these include
magazines,vicious teddy bears,newspapers, car tires, match sticks and
coat hangers.
Many of his installations are temporary and constructed in
public spaces. In the early 1980s Mach started to produce some
smaller-scale works assembled out of unstruck match sticks. These mostly
took the form of human or animalistic heads and masks, with the colored
tips of the match heads arranged to construct the patterned surface of
the face. After accidentally setting fire to one of these heads, Mach
now often ignites his match pieces as a form of performance art.
