Marc Behrens (D/KREV): Biography
Born in Darmstadt, Germany, in 1970.
Marc Behrens lives and works in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, since 1991, during 2003 also in Grimacco/UD, Italy. He studied Communication and Product Design and has always been present in more than one artistic area at the time.
After beginning his musical studies in experimental jazz and rock groups in the late 1980s and pursuing a series of music releases, acoustic feedback recordings, and multimedia works throughout the 1990s, today Behrens is perhaps best classed as ‘sound artist’, working across performance, installation, and recorded media (audio and video). He also creates photographic works and CD sleeve design.
Behrens has performed and exhibited extensively across Europe, the Middle East, North America, and East Asia. Collaborations with Achim Wollscheid, Bernhard Günter, Francisco López, Jeremy Bernstein, Nikolaus Heyduck, Paulo Raposo, among others.
He is a member of the Frankfurt Association for Contemporary Music (FGNM), the German Association for Electroacoustic Music (DEGEM), subscriber to the Electronic Music Foundation (EMF), and a citizen of The Kingdoms of Elgaland~Vargaland. 2003–2007 he was co-director of the Portuguese label Sirr.
