This work has been produced as a limited edition of 40.
Created in 2019 as part of the artist’s commission with Bethlem Gallery’s Mental Health and Justice Project, funded by Wellcome. The work is derived from the larger, touring public sculpture ‘Some questions about us’ (2019) one version of which was outside the front of Bethlem Royal Hospital for a year, other versions have appeared at Firstsite in Colchester and have been acquired by Government Art Collection, Manchester Art Gallery and Bethlem Museum of the Mind.
Titchner used the newly established Level Press at Bethlem Gallery to print this series, formed by artist collective OOMK in 2018. A Risograph printer is a digital printing system designed for high-speed, cost-efficient printing and has been much used by community or pressure groups, activists, grassroots campaigners, radicals, protesters and more recently by artists. This is the artist’s first risograph print.
Mark Titchner’s (b. 1973, Luton, UK) work involves an exploration of the tensions between the different belief systems that inform our society, be they religious, scientific or political.
