Marcus Garlard: A Necessary Option

Marcus Garlard is arguably one of the most celebrated artists of his generation, receiving critical success for his site-specific performances almost overnight. However, due to the tragic events of a performance in the Andes Mountains in 2007, Marcus entered into an indefinite period of hiding. He is now the subject of a new documentary, Marcus Garlard: A Necessary Option, directed by amateur nature photographer John Bargenhaver, who seeks to document his challenging return to the art world.
