  • This week, E2 may feel a little on the fringes of the Frieze blast zone radiating from central London. But the art fair presence of many of the bigger commercial spaces does not mean the heart of the East End gallery district is closed for business. For a rash of high profile opening parties about to happen at venues such as Victoria Miro, Maureen Paley and Vilma Gold will likely increase the footfall around certain pockets of Hackney. So how are the area’s smaller spaces dealing with the prospect of the international art community headed this way? Judging by the literary, philosophical and socially engaged projects on offer – with wit, sobriety and a characteristic air of nonchalance...

BIOGRAPHY

Born in 1973 in Luton, United Kingdom, Mark Titchner lives and works in London. Titcher uses a wide range of media, including print, sculpture, text, and video. His work pivots around the resurrection of dead forms and letters, often reinvesting the sterile language of revolutionary slogans and corporate mottos with the mystical promise of a second coming, a new revolution or a utopian world. Reminiscent of Futurist design and science fiction iconography from the 1960s and 70s, his work combines modernist forms with New Age diagrams and figures, layering avant-garde manifestos, managerial lingo and self-help catch phrases in order to create a complex aesthetic language at once potent and barren. Far from nostalgic, Titchner’s work uses these forms and texts in order to critically reflect upon the contemporary formation of a liquid subject, situated between the “I” and the “we”, equally capable of responding to the ever-changing demands of post-capitalist production as of melding into the revolutionary ideal of the multitude.

Mark Titchner has recently presented solo exhibitions and projects at Vilma Gold, London (2010), Art House Foundation, London (2010), the Hellenic American Union, Athens (2009), Broadway cinema/backlit studios, Nottingham (2009), Peres Projects, Berlin (2008) and BALTIC, Gateshead (2008). His work has also been shown as part of “Nothing is Forever” at the South London Gallery, London (2010), "The Dark Monarch: Magic and Modernity in British Art” at Tate St. Ives, Cornwall (2009), "Black Hole" at CCA Andratx, Mallorca (2009), "ARTLV 08" at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Tel Aviv (2008), "A Poem about an Inland Sea", the 52nd Venice Biennale, Venice (2007) and "Left Pop”, the 2nd Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art, Moscow (2007). He has been short-listed for the Turner Prize at Tate Britain, London (2006).

Mark Titchner is represented by Vilma Gold, London and Peres Projects, Los Angeles and Berlin.
