The Front presents Replication Machines, Territorial Markers and Preliminary Drawings, an exhibition of recent works by Chicago based visual artist Mark Porter featuring kinetic sculptures and mixed media drawings. Through the fusion of found and custom-made objects, Porter creates mechanical prototypes, which mimic human and animal behavior as well as natural phenomenon. Emphasizing the quality of the hand made object, Porter’s sculptures serve as performative prototypes, which embrace experimentation and the relationship between inventor/invention, invention/user.
