Talk Series





PUBLISHED
25 AUGUST 2026





Episode 4. of On the Couch features artist Daniel R Marks.

On the Couch is a new conversation series – an invitation for Temperance Hall artists to speak. Positioning artists on the couch, these sessions aim to capture a moment in time, mobilising choreographic and bodily-inclined practices through speaking


DRM (Dr Daniel R Marks) is an artist and researcher based in Naarm/Melbourne, working in an interdisciplinary choreographic practice which engages intersections of image-making histories (with attention to the iconographic image), ephemeral and extractive materialities, queer radicalism and technological power. They work in a hybrid practice centring performance documentation/documentary performance, also creating virtual and screen media, sculptural installation, wearable objects, text, and audio.

DRM holds a PhD in Art and is a lecturer at RMIT School of Fashion & Textiles in the Bachelor of Fashion (Design) program. Recent solo work has been programmed by ACMI, LGI, Temperance Hall and Liquid Architecture, and they are affiliated with research networks Performing Dress Lab, Posthuman Art Network and the Australiasian Science & Technology Studies Network.

Daniel R Marks is a Temperance Hall Front Studio Resident for 2026. 

Temperance Hall's Front Studio Residency offers six independent artists an artist stipend and two months of exclusive, unrestricted access to the Front Studio at Temperance Hall. At the conclusion of their residencies, artists present a public showing of their work in development, and receive professional photographic documentation.

The 2026 Front Studio Residency has been supported by the Neilson Foundation, the City of Port Phillip, and private donors.
