1976

In the 70's exotic times, Jonier Marin crosses the Amazonian rain-forest,
and begins his art career with "Amazonia", a show presented then in Sao
Paulo, New-York and in Paris at the Lara Vincy gallery...Then follows the
metavisual years of the question-mark paintings and volumes. This work has
been noted by Pierre Restany (ICC catalog, Anvers, 1979), Severo Sarduy (Art
Press, 1983) and others. Also several shows took place in our gallery in the
80's. In 1999, an entire room was reserved for his work in the show "Vivre
Paris", at the Espace Electra, Paris.

2000
Back from Texas, Jonier Marin inquires into the power to name all, that the
web has recently acquired, and suggests the domain name via the web as a
marvelous material for artists. The domain name-DN- blows out from the
sphere of the web, and becomes DN -art.
With DN-art as creative form, the work of art acquires a nex status both
positioned on the Net as domain name reserved, checked out by a provider,
and at the same time, installed on the wall of public spaces as simple
"painting on canvas". The pieces presented are part of the collection of DN,
set apart by J.M. since the last years. They will be available on gallery
Lara Vincy's web site as well. "I must say, DN-art is not net art, which has
already its emerging artists, its heroes" says the artist. "DN-art" is
created, shaped and presented as a message of a new dimension, for people of
a new century".

Born in 1946 in Columbia.
