Mark
Lewis was born in Canada; he lives and works in London.
Since the mid-1990s, he has explored the techniques of
cinema in order to question its history and conventions.
His works, often filmed in Cinemascope and transferred
to DVD, take the form of very large projections in vast
spaces. Recognized both in North America and in Europe,
his films have been featured in many solo exhibitions
and have been presented in group exhibitions that have
conceptualized the growing interest of contemporary artists
in the temporal and narrative properties of film: Re-makes
at CAPC Musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux,
and (Based upon) True Stories, at Witte de With
in Rotterdam, en 2003; Liverpool Biennal at the
Tate Liverpool, in 2002; Mois de la Photo à Montréal,
in 2001; Intelligence: New British Art 2000 at
the Tate Britain in London, in 2000; Cinema! Cinema!
The Cinematic Experience at the Stedelijk Van Abbemuseum
d’Eindhoven, in 1999; and L’effet cinéma,
at the Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal,
in 1997. |
