Born in 1969 in Roccavione (Cuneo), Italy, Marco Cordero graduated in Sculpture at the Albertina
Academy of Fine Arts in Torino, city where he continues to live and work.
 
His work establishes a genealogical relationship to matter, undertaking a movement in which,
from the library as a collective heritage, becomes the germ of sculptures that hold a material
“reminiscence” value. The intervention on the written text in which he digs, profiles enigmatic
shapes and forms, and sets a space in which the matter is thought as memory. The book,
though cut in a creative intention, remains idolized as an aesthetical, historical, cultural
and divinatory object. This creative and aggressive gesture represents thus the nuclear
element that makes explicit and overcomes the first meaning by opening a latent and
potential semantic field.
 
The hand of the artist gives way to the drawing that emerges from the stacked pages,
showing the deficiency or inadequacy of writing to communicate properly, turning
into an indecipherable text. Words stay readable and emerge from literary hidden
references, simulating a horizon line; an excavated group of books brings to light a
mountain landscape from which tracks of earth or charcoal traces, as a sort of
memory of their future.
 
Dialectic process between the materiality of heritage and his conceptual projection,
Cordero undertakes then a hermeneutic of substance. He re-interprets and
transforms this legacy in a renewed language, seizes the texts and their opened
possibilities to perform an unveiling and concealing game that enhances an
archaeology of the subject who confronts the matter.
