Mark TITCHNER performance at Peres Projects Berlin


MARK TITCHNER
FEEL BETTER NOW! (Apathy and the New Sincerity)
Performed by Jonny Woo with Jeanette

Originally commissioned by the Serpentine Gallery, London in 2008, Peres Projects, Berlin presents an expanded version of this text based performance work. This multi voiced work is presented in the various guises of two of London’s best loved alternative performers.

Alternatively humorous and disturbing this manifesto like assemblage, composed of fragmented found texts, aphorisms and axioms, examines how the failure of mass protest in the last decade has led to a nostalgic retreading of past failures. Focusing on the use of the polemical style in entertainment and media and how this consequently diverts social change towards individual selfishness. Disembodied and contradictory voices pile upon each other from crescendo to silence.

CHARLIE ISOE  "WILL BE HOME LATE – LEAVE THE LIGHT ON"


CHARLIE ISOE  “WILL BE HOME LATE – LEAVE THE LIGHT ON”

Charlie Isoe’s pictorial compositions are based largely on his personal experiences and observations he makes of his immediate social surroundings. Isoe left school at the age of sixteen and immersed himself in a world of graffiti, skateboarding, travel, and life on the streets.  As he entered his twenties, already well traveled, rich in experiences with highs and broken bones, he went back to attain a high school diploma, and subsequently a Degree in Fine Art. For the last three years, Isoe has been living in Europe as a freelance artist, observer and wanderer. His work has been seen on the streets of Australia, Thailand, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Czech Republic and Germany.
