Nick Crowe

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nick Crowe (born 1968) is an English artist. Much of his work is internet-based.

Crowe was born in Barnsley and studied English literature and drama at Hull University.

Several of Crowe's pieces are internet-based. SERVICE 2000, for example, was a ring of spoof websites for notable art galleries. Other work, like Discrete Packets and Police Radio use the web as a medium for exploring wider cultural concerns. Crowe also works a great deal in more traditional art media including film and photography as well as installation and publishing. He also produces engraved glass works which deal with subjects as wide as internet memorial web pages and the occupation of Iraq.

In 2003, Crowe was shortlisted for the Beck's Futures prize. He lives and works in Manchester and Berlin.
