Darren Bader (Bridgeport, 1978), lives and works in New York.

Bader’s art touches on an impressively broad range of themes – from the ontological status of the art object to the cultural influence of the internet, from the history of the readymade to the role of language in Conceptual art, from global consumer capitalism to the 21st-century art market, from the divine to the abject.
