About
Marcin Rusak(born in 1987, Warsaw, Poland) is an artist and multidisciplinary designer interested in ideas of value, ephemerality, and aesthetics. Specializing in storytelling, process, and material investigation his work often incorporates research, object and installation as well as visual creations to explore overlooked details of our lives which, recreated and re-imagined, are shown again in a different light. As the son and grandson of flower growers, he has long been fascinated by these natural sources of inspiration and decoration.
Engaging them in his creative process began by reusing waste to investigate new decorative elements within everyday objects and led to a rich body of work ranging from research and storytelling to cultural criticism around consumption and future scenarios.
He has exhibited worldwide including most recent solo presentations at the BIO 27 design biennale,Ljubljana, Slovenia; Ordet, Milan, Italy; Twenty First Gallery, New York, Cobra Gallery, Shanghai; Horta Museum, Brussels, Belgium. He has also taken part in important group exhibitions at the Carpenters Workshop Gallery, Paris, Hauser & Wirth, Somerset and London, Museum für Gestaltung in Zürich, William Morris Gallery, London and Jerwood Visual Arts, London. Awarded with EDIDA Young Designer of the Year 2022 and mentioned in the prestigious AD100 list published by Architectural Digest globally(2022 and 2021), Rusak has given numerous talks and conducted workshops at internationally acclaimed design events and venues around the world.
