Clive van den Berg (b. 1956, Zambia) is a Johannesburg-based artist, curator and designer. Working across various mediums throughout the course of his prolific forty-year career, which has focused on pioneering the insertion of queer perspectives into the larger rewrite of South African history, Van den Berg has produced a range of works unified by his enduring focus on five interrelated themes: memory, light, landscape, desire and body.

Fugitive Marks III formed part of Van den Berg’s solo in London last year, and is a work that considers the body and the land as loaded sites which carry memories and scars. It continues his engagement with the idea of the land as a porous receptacle for lived experience.
