Than Hussein Clark takes on a plethora of roles, as a designer, performer, researcher, scenographer, and artist. Drawing inspiration from interwar period stories and those of mythical yet often neglected figures, he shapes scenes and interiors, exploring themes of authenticity and identity in their expression in architecture, costume, decorative arts, stage arts, and in the ways that they are embodied.
Born in 1981 in Exeter, New Hampshire (US), Than Hussein Clark lives and works between London et Hamburg. His work has been shown in numerous exhibitions, including at CRAC Occitanie, Sète (FR), Fonderia Battaglia, Milan (IT), Mumok, Vienna (AT), Boghossian Foundation - Villa Empain, Brussels (BE), Kunstverein in Hamburg (DE), CAC Brétigny (FR), GAK Bremen (DE), Crèveœur, Paris (FR), Frans Hals Museum, Haarlem (NL) and David Roberts Art Foundation, London (UK) .
