Martin Beck is a conceptual artist whose sculpture, painting, video and writing works often recycle historical modern discourses on art, design, architecture and other disciplines into installations that confront avant-garde ideology. Graphic works on paper are frequently a vital part of his exhibitions.

Beck's solo exhibitions and collaborative works have had an international audience for more than twenty years. Recent venues include Approx. 13 Hours, at castillo/corrales, in Paris, France, as well as Martin Beck: Program, at Carpenter Center for the Visual Arts, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, in 2014, and Last Night, at Kunsthaus Glarus, Glarus, Switzerland, in 2013.

Martin Beck has actively exhibited and created projects across Europe, Canada and the United States. He often collaborates with fellow New York artist/curator Julie Ault on projects.
