PUBLICATIONS BY AUTHOR

Mark Lewis Films 1995-2000
Charles Esche, Steven Bode, Lizzie Francke and Catherine Pavlovic
Mark Lewis Films 1995-2000
ISBN  0 95386 340 9
PRICE  £15.00

Mark Lewis' work functions as a critique of cinema, encouraging the viewer's awareness of the clichés, conventions and fragmentary nature of film, and how it has been constructed historically. In so doing, he also acknowledges its suggestive power, and the alluring, seductive visual qualities of the medium, whilst maintaining a certain critical distance in his extraction and re-evaluation of its components. This catalogue provides a survey of Lewis' film works from 1995-2000.

Essays by Charles Esche, Steven Bode, Catherine Pavlovic and Lizzie Francke.

     
Silicon Fen
With texts by Iain Sinclair, Simon Willmoth, Steven Bode, Sean Cubitt and Tom Williamson
Silicon Fen
ISBN  978-1-904270-27-0
PRICE  £12.00

A record of a long-running visual arts project that took place at venues across the east of England between 2004 and 2007, Silicon Fen considers how landscape in general (and the East Anglian landscape in particular) has been both affected and reflected by technology. Immersing themselves in the distinctive history and topography of the region, whose remote, almost desolate vistas belie the complex nature of its substantially man-made environment, the participating artists (Suky Best, Susan Collins, Dalziel + Scullion, Annabel Howland, Stephen Hughes and TNWK) contribute works that capture the unique character of the Fenland landscape and whose facility with digital forms of image-making brings their subject into sharper focus.
