Marc R. Christensen (b. 1993) is a multidisciplinary artist, curator, and cultural worker whose practice centers queer memory, material intimacy, and beauty-making as acts of survival. Working across design, painting, photography, sculpture, writing, and installation, Marc documents the emotional architecture of queer life—its sanctuaries, eros, traditions, and intergenerational kinship.

His photographic work blends Polaroid immediacy with the grain and patience of film, often capturing tender, off-guard portraits and the quiet poetics of queer space. His sculptures and glassworks expand this practice, crafting contextual, domestic-scale objects that feel both archival and devotional. His painting practice draws from personal history and queer symbolism, often layering figuration with abstraction to evoke both longing and reclamation. These works are intimate yet expansive, often centered on color, structure, and emotional charge.

Marc is a founding force behind several creative platforms, including Books and Boys, the Visitors Center, Fire Island Tea, and the Queer Culture Arts Foundation (QCAF), through which he curates exhibitions, residencies, and community rituals. His curatorial efforts, including his ongoing partnership with the Fire Island Pines Arts Project (FIPAP) Biennial and the Tom of Finland Foundation, seeks not simply to show queer art—but to build queer infrastructure to support queer artists.

With a deep belief in the sensual, the ancestral, and the self as a sacred site of becoming, Marc’s work aims to preserve our stories while also dreaming new ways forward—treating archiving itself as an art form, a practice of care, curation, and cultural survival. He currently lives between Fire Island Pines and New York City.
