Mark will be presenting work for 'Parallel Plymouth'. Parallel Plymouth 'Evidently, code works like poetry in that it plays with structures of
language itself, as well as our corresponding perceptions. In this sense,
all poetry might be seen to be generative in that it is always in the
process of becoming.’ Working in association with i-DAT and Plymouth
Arts Centre, artist and writer Mark Greenwood has embarked on
series of walks around Plymouth seeking to investigate myths, mysterious
histories and monuments as well as 'systems' for writing poetry. Narratives
will run parallel to these encounters as the boundaries between fact and
fiction become distorted and blurred.

Red Ape The Red Ape is an ongoing enquiry into the relationship between language and live performance. Curated by Mark Greenwood, the project explores and disseminates innovative approaches to the mediation of political, cultural and social issues aroundmale identity and its inherent anxieties. Leo Devlin (Belfast) is a performance artist whose concerns lie in the projection of the male ego onto animals through a series of trans(ag)gressive rituals. Devlin’s demotic actions are idiosyncratic descriptions of masculine crisis. Anger, fear, and futility are entrenched in his visual poetics of impending violence and reconciliation. Nathan Walker (York) is a homotextual artist who works with live actions, photography and text. Committed to the personal,the uncomfortable and the intimate, his work explores love and memory. Using repetition and endurance, hard tasks and painful imagery he negotiates the relationships between nostalgia and trauma, the remembered and recurring. Liam Yeates (London) celebrates the instability of being wrong, the absurdity of relocation and dislocation and the cyclable political debates and systems of discourse that attempt to reconstruct and re-contextualise history and change. His art works question the contradictions and unpredictability of human nature in opposition to the stability of social communion. Dates of Performance/ Installactions Leo Devlin: 28th, 29th November (off-site action tbc)
