>>> Mark Greenwood

Influenced by artists such as Joseph Beuys, Robert Morris, and Paul McCarthy, Greenwood’s performance work builds on the symbiotic exchange between the body and object. Notions of the absurd, futility and durational task-like activity are explored from a minimalist and post industrial perspective, grounded in Greenwood’s industrial and Thatcher ravaged experiences rooted in the North East of England.

Greenwood subjects the body to a number of imposed durational experiments where extreme elements play a major role in articulating the vulnerability and anxiety of the human condition in the context of corporate manipulation and environmental pollution. His body becomes a site where the iconography of human crisis and the vulgarity of political injustices collide and distort.
