update article frozen since ~2009

This LLM-generated text has been collapsed and should be excluded from assessments of consensus.

The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.

Disclosure: I am posting on behalf of the artist's studio (unpaid; I assist Marc Swanson's studio with communications). Per WP:COI I am requesting changes here rather than editing the article directly.

The article's newest fact dates from 2009 and it has had no substantive content edit since 2015. I'm proposing an updated version that adds the artist's two museum exhibitions since then, a sourced Collections section, an infobox, his birth year, and his current location, and fixes the lead (he has been based in Catskill, NY — not Brooklyn — since at least 2022, per the NYT and BOMB sources below).

Proposed text: User:Ted alexandre/sandbox (the full updated article)

Summary of changes: 1. Lead/short description: "Brooklyn based artist" → "American artist (born 1969)"; based in Catskill, NY (NYT Nov 8 2022; BOMB May 30 2022; artist CV). 2. Adds {{Infobox artist}} (b. 1969 — also per the Johnson Museum of Art collection record, which gives "American, born 1969"). 3. Resolves the August 2023 {{cn}} on education (artist CV per WP:ABOUTSELF; uncontroversial). 4. New subsection on A Memorial to Ice at the Dead Deer Disco, MASS MoCA (Mar 2022–Sep 2023) + Thomas Cole National Historic Site (2022). Sources: The New York Times (Nov 8, 2022), The Boston Globe (Murray Whyte, Nov 3, 2022), Art in America (Dec 15, 2022), Sculpture (Nov 2022), BOMB (May 30, 2022), plus the venues' pages. 5. New subsection on Death Is Expensive, Center for Maine Contemporary Art (May 23–Sep 13, 2026), sourced to the CMCA exhibition page (show facts only; no reviews published yet). 6. New "Selected solo exhibitions" list (museum venues only). 7. New "Collections" section listing ONLY holdings verifiable in the museums' own collection databases — each cited to the collection record. The artist's CV claims additional collections; I have deliberately omitted any I could not verify independently. 8. Grammar fixes in existing prose ("is brings together"); Artforum citation repointed from dead findarticles.com aggregator to artforum.com; external links trimmed (dead Saatchi page, Flickr); categories updated (1969 births replaces Year-of-birth-missing; adds Catskill, installation artists, Skowhegan alumni, LGBTQ artists — the last per the NYT/BOMB/Art in America coverage discussing his work's queer subject matter and his own framing).

I understand a reviewing editor may trim or adjust; happy to provide any source quotes on request.

I am human.

How do you propose I update Marc's bio otherwise? Ted alexandre (talk) 14:32, 18 June 2026 (UTC)
