Tim Etchells

CIRCA Projects present a new performance work by Tim Etchells, which operates as a departure point for ‘EXHIBITION’, a group show at Workplace Gallery, Gateshead.

The work, titled ‘It’s moving from I to It – The Play’, is a touring play, with previous iterations being presented at Eastside Projects, Birmingham, Spike Island, Bristol, Tate Modern and David Roberts Art Foundation, London.

CIRCA Projects present this performance within a group exhibition… ‘EXHIBITION’ will respond to Etchells’ ideas reflecting upon the position and nature of a host (an institution) and its relationship with invited guests (which could include artists and the audience amongst others).

Tim Etchells (b. UK) is an artist, performance maker and writer, best known for his role as the artistic director of the performance ensemble Forced Entertainment, based in Sheffield (UK) and founded in 1984. Etchells practice extends through writing and performance projects, neon and video works, through diverse collaborations and the author of several books, including a critical exploration of contemporary performance and theatre, a dream dictionary and a novel.
