Mark Greenwood is a performance writer and artist originally from Newcastle but now based in Liverpool. He has presented work across the U.K, Europe and the United States as well as curating the RED APE; a ‘guerilla’ event dedicated to the preservation and legacy of provincial performance art practice in the U.K.Inscription and immediacy are key to Greenwood’s work which draws on indefinite durational practice and minimal actions as art forms. His interests lie in the configuration of writing and prolonged psychic utterance, where atonal sublimity addresses deteriorations of memory and rituals of compulsion. Greenwood describes his performance writing experiments as ‘as a speculative solving of anthropomorphic puzzles through primary encounter and obsessive notation’.
Greenwood is currently researching a PhD in Fine Art at Kingston University, London. He was recently writer in residence for CHAOS, a festival of Canadian Performance Art in Belfast (2010) and his latest spoken word collection ‘Knot in the Clock’ is due for publication later this year. Greenwood also lectures in performance studies at Liverpool Hope University.
