Digital Broadway

Digital Broadway is curated by Matt Davenport. With the financial support of the Arts Council England we are commissioning artists working with new media, digital film and video for the Glass Screen and the Bar Screen.

11 - 27 JUNE
DISCLOSURE
Mark Titchner

"My name is Mark. I am thirty-six years old. I?m asking myself, is it possible to start again?"

Mark Titchner presents a new video work made for Broadway?s Glass Screen entitled "Disclosure". The work appears to present an open admission from the artist of his dissatisfaction and frustration with past actions and opinions and his hopes for the future.

The work documents the internal dialogue of an individual attempting to liberate himself from the past or the act of "giving birth to oneself". Presented as a stream of scrolling text the work provides subtitles for a hypothetical life that exists only as potential.

The work is the companion to the exhibition "Disclosure" presented by Backlit Studios.
______________________________________________

Broadway will also host a number of artists' video works from recent graduates interspersed with a selection of short films and youtube clips chosen by Mark Titichner and Matt Davenport which also explore the themes of liberation and disclosure.

Presented on rotation in the cafe/bar area and also on displays around the building:

Mark Titchner "Ivy meet Mike"
Emily Birrell "The Speed of Light"
Ben Wheele "Untitled"
Dan Cervi "Meta Physic"
Dan Green "In Search of the Sublime- Part 4"
