Encyclopedia > Marco Evaristti

Marco Evaristti, born 1963 in Chile, is a Danish artist.


After studying at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Evaristti gained notoriety for a museum display in 2000 that featured ten functional blenders containing live goldfish. The display, at the Trapholt Art Museum in Kolding, Denmark, invited guests to turn on the blenders. This led to museum director Peter Meyer being charged with, and acquitted of, animal cruelty.


Evaristti's next major work, in 2004, entitled Ice Cube Project, was to paint the exposed tip of a small iceberg red. This took place on March 24, in Kangia fjord near Ilullissat, Greenland. With two icebreakers and a 20-man crew, Evaristti used three fire hoses and 3,000 litres (790 US gallons) of paint to color the iceberg blood-red. He commented on this project that, "We all have a need to decorate Mother Nature because it belongs to all us."
