Tim Etchells (Regno Unito, 1962) vive e lavora tra Londra e Sheffield. La sua pratica si snoda tra il contesto privato e quello dello spazio pubblico, abbracciando performance, video, disegni e affrontando tematiche legate all’identità contemporanea, al rapporto con la fiction e i media, e ai limiti della rappresentazione soprattutto per quanto concerne il linguaggio.

Tim Etchells is a pioneering British artist, writer and performance maker whose interdisciplinary practice is concerned with tropes of performativity, liveness and presence. Binaries of exposure and concealment, construction and deconstruction, appearance and disappearance are explored in a body of work that takes multiple forms including performance, sculpture, drawing, video and installation, presented in multiple contexts, from galleries to public sites and found spaces.

About Tim Etchells’ neon and LED works Etchells’ neon and LED pieces often draw on his broader fascinations as an artist, writer and performance maker, exploring contradictory aspects of language – the speed, clarity and vividness with which […]
An ongoing collaboration between theatremaker Tim Etchells and photographer Hugo Glendinning, Empty Stages attempts to capture the elusive magic of theatre spaces without either performers and audiences – from school halls to working men's clubs, world-famous theatres to rooms above pubs. Take a seat and enjoy the view ...
