MARC HOROWITZ (b. 1976, Columbus, Ohio) is a Los Angeles-based artist. Horowitz performed an innovative social practice informed by his background in entertainment and advertising. His multifaceted practice now encompasses painting, sculpture, video, and installation. Equal parts postmodern and post-internet, Horowitz’s work flattens the hierarchies of culture, politics, relationality, and history creating a diverse but singular visual universe.

Horowitz received an MFA at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles CA in 2012. A Creative Time Project Grant Awardee, Horowitz has taught at the University of Southern California, and Otis College, and lectured at the California Institute of the Arts (CalArts), the Hammer Museum, Stanford University, and Yale.

Horowitz has exhibited his work internationally, past exhibitions include venues such as L21, Majorca, Spain; Johannes Vogt, New York, NY; BANK Mab Society, Shanghai, China; Mannerheim Gallery, Paris, France; The Hayward Gallery, London, UK; The Pit, Los Angeles, CA; China Art Objects, Los Angeles, CA; Anat Ebgi Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, Salt Lake City, UT; Galerie Nathalie Halgand, Vienna, Austria; and Mindy Solomon Gallery, Miami, FL among others.
