For artist f. marquespenteado, it is the intimate stories—particularly of and between men—that draw his attention and his fascination. Known for his work with fabric and fiber as well as collage, drawing, sculpture and socially engaged projects, marquespenteado’s practice is built around considerations of gender, sexuality, and relationships. In his 2014 exhibition, 3 novels, Marquespenteado created three parallel narratives in space, all focusing on one of his ex-lovers as the central character. Working with a variety of media, marquespenteado’s project considers the complexities and the pleasures of love.
