Mark Verlan (1963–2020) – Marioca Son of the Rain, Prince of the Creative Kingdom of Moldova, Graphic Defender of animals and non-existent nations – he was one of the most prolific, original and authentic representatives of the Moldovan art scene. He represents a veritable embodiment of artist- shaman. Often present at meetings of underground artistic groups, and participant in various contemporary art manifestations, from the ‘80s until the end of his life, usually being perceived as a „mascot”, Verlan always remained an „other”, a solitaire artist, independent of any circumstances, surrounded by dogs and cats, always in his imaginary world taken from his dreams, and transposed into his vast work. An artist with a special talent and a fountain of ideas, which reflected through various artistic practices the society in continuous transition he lived in, the context of his cohabitation, as well as the impact of induction from the environment. One of the significant actions realized by Verlan in 1995, which marked the „emergence” of Contemporary Moldovan Art per se, was „The Burial of the Barbie Doll”. The action was accompanied by mass processions along the streets of Chisinau. Verlan inseparably identified himself with its habitat, which it transformed into a parallel space to the real one. He invented his own Creative Kingdom of Moldova, proclaiming himself its Prince, who in his „past life” was the Knight of the Graphic Kingdom NGUCC PA – the fighter for the independence of non-existent peoples. He realized a globe of Moldova, in the shape of an egg, whose axis is supported by a grapevine. A cat is the heraldic symbol that adorns the flag and other attributes, and the profile of the „Prince” incrusted on the copper coins of the „Kingdom” with the face value of One Marioka. Later on, in collaboration with the artist Igor Scherbina, Mark created the Passport of the „Kingdom”, which would offer anyone who wants to identify with the parallel world of a „non-existent space”. Cartography occupies a certain place in his work. In works such as „Map of the World” or „Creative Kingdom of Moldova” he, like puzzles, arranged real territories, randomly scrambling them with fictional/invented ones and mixing them at his own discretion. Through such an interpretation, the author demonstrates the idea of uncertainty and the unstable character of the existing geo-political spaces. The territorial structures being in a continuous change, becomes fragmented in basic elements that the artist perceives as a mosaic. Identity and belonging come from the positioning of the personality/ person (artist) in relation to the newly created reality. Here we have two equal and interdependent sides in the geo-artistic discourse – the creator-manager and/or the territory created by him. In a derisory way, Verlan worked with various ideological characters, such as the stamps „Lenin and Buratino”, or the doll „Lenin’s embryo”, he wrote letters to different personalities and peoples – „a letter to the Vietnamese people”. Tina Turner, now more recently – to Moldovan President Maia Sandu... were developing unfeasible projects, such as an orbiting exhibition or an elevator between the poles of the earth. All this was part of a great artistic project, absolutely complex and continuous, which was called Mark Verlan. |
