VISITING INFORMATION
About the Exhibition
'RE / PRE / SENT / PAST', an exhibition featuring works by media artist
Markus Soukup as part of Furtherfield Clear Spots programme, explores
different phenomena from dreamscapes to long distance travel recordings,
as well as attempted considerations of societal change in relation to
technological developments.

It brings together fragments of subjective experiences related to
contemporary everyday existence, which were translated and transformed
into 'perceivable outputs' by using different digital techniques. The
screen or the physical object as output constitutes an interface, where
perceptual experiences of the spectator intermix with the intentions of
expression. The wonders of perception are connected to imagination
processes and a continuous stream of individual interpretation that play
with the question of what defines objective reality.
About the Artist
Markus Soukup is a media, video and sound artist living and working in
London since 2012. He is fascinated by the infinity of possibilities and
starting points, which the work with moving images provides. Since the
end of the 90s he produces videos, 2D and 3D animations investigating
the narrative, expressive, poetic and aesthetic potentials of this
time-based medium. His work has been shown in local, national and
international exhibitions and festivals, for instance at the 11th
international Media Art Biennale WRO 05 (Wroclaw, Poland, 2005), NEXT UP
at the Bluecoat Liverpool (2008), the 10th Seoul International New Media
Festival (Republic of Korea, 2010) and the Liverpool Biennial 2010. In
2011 he was awarded the Liverpool Art Prize. As a result his work was
shown in the 'Elements & Satellites' exhibition at the Walker Art
Gallery, part of National Museums Liverpool in 2012. In 2013 he was
commissioned by Metal Culture to produce the video installation Strata
for the 'STILL, conflict, conservation & contemplation' exhibition
curated by Simon Poulter at City Gallery Peterborough. Recent
exhibitions include Infinite Separation, part of 'Art:Language:Location'
at Anglia Ruskin Gallery Cambridge, and Disjointed at Museum Ex Teresa
Arte Actual in Mexico City.
