MARCUS FISCHER is an interdisciplinary artist and musician based in Portland, Oregon. He is a first-generation American artist who creates, collects, and transforms sound into immersive, layered compositions that accompany performances and exhibitions. Site-specific assemblages of exposed speakers, tape loops, and objects are characteristic of his installations, paired with melodies of restraint and tension. He has released numerous recordings-both solo and collaborative-on 12k, a label that has decisively defined and developed its own concept of minimalism in the realms of experimental and ambient music. He contributed two sound works and two performances to the 2019 Whitney Biennial as the sole artist from the Pacific Northwest included in the edition. Fischer has been selected for residencies at the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation, Rauschenberg Residency, and Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts and was awarded The Ford Family Foundation's Hallie Ford Fellowship in the Visual Arts in 2024.
