Career

In 2003 and 2004, McCormack exhibited the piece the piece Who Are The Heroes, an installation about the devastation caused by military action at the Castello di Castagneto Po [it] Foundation near Turin, Italy.

The same year, he also exhibited at the Galerie Colbert [fr] in Paris The Diaries of John Doe (3) which focused on themes of loneliness and solitude.[2] In 2006, the Christian Colas Gallery in Paris hosted the installation See Nothing, Hear Nothing, No Nothing which looked at economic and social themes linked to apathy.[2]

By the 2010s, he had a number of permanently installed pieces as well as public sculptures, such as When Joris Ivens meets Hraesvelgr, focused on ecological politics in developed society. McCormack created it as a tribute to the film "Pour le Mistral" (1966), by the Dutch filmmaker Joris Ivens. The sculpture was permanently installed at the Parc de Saint-Cloud in Paris.[5][6][7][8] McCormack's 2011 installation Preservation is Life – The Sounds of my Life explored the practices of safe sex and the political ramifications of contemporary sexuality.[9][10] The work consisted of 80,000 condoms and was installed over the six floors of the Centre Pompidou in Paris.[11][12][13]

His works often focus on social justice and the urban environment. Chromo Zone Y was a 2012 performance installation that questioned poverty and its consequences and was produced by RainDogs Theatre Company at the Theatre of Menilmontant, Paris.[14] Likewise, his 2014 piece Van'Heart was a day shelter people without permanent housing. McCormack worked with students at the College Marx Dormoy in Paris in creating the temporary refuge.[15] In collaboration with the City Hall of Paris he worked on UPP Urban ProjectParis, a research project looking at the production of new forms of urban installations.

Between 2016 and 2017, McCormack worked on the project Yesterday/Today/Tomorrow for the Venice Biennale 2017 which gave voice to the 2015 European migrant crisis by having participants from refugee backgrounds create 3 drawings, one of their life before (Yesterday), one of their current life (Today) and one of their imagined future (Tomorrow).[16][17][18][19][20]
