Marsel Reddick is an artist and writer based in Mohkinstsis (Calgary), whose practice engages with chance, affect, and speculative history. Through a variety of media such as animation, sculpture, textile, zine, and performance, he works to examine the ongoing and shifting entanglements between self and other to consider how identities are constructed, perceived, and transformed. To underscore the tenuousness of canonical histories and conventions of the self, he aims to facilitate experiences that disrupt automatic processes of recognition to propose alternate modes of being in the world. In his work, he seeks to challenge binaries of self and other by drawing attention to relational interactions between these ostensibly disparate entities, rather than their assumed differences. Marsel often draws upon magical and divinatory practices inspired by tarot, dada, surrealism, and fluxism, with particular interest in marginalized artists who historically worked within these realms as acts of resistance and survival. Marsel holds a BFA in Sculpture from AUArts and has exhibited work at galleries across Canada such as Stride, Darling Fonderie, and Latitude 53.
