Mark Titchner was born in Luton. He graduated from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London, in 1995.
He was nominated for the Turner Prize for a solo show at the Arnolfini, Bristol. The Tate Gallery described his work, "hybrid installations furthered his exploration into systems of belief. Working across a wide range of media, including light boxes and extraordinary hand-carved contraptions, his work continues to interweave a vast array of references from pop lyrics to philosophy."
In 2007 he was included in the 52nd Venice Biennale exhibiting in Ukraine's Pavilion, A Poem about an Inland Sea. A solo exhibition Run, Black River, Run followed at BALTIC, Gateshead early in 2008.[2]
His book WHY AND WHY NOT was published by Bookworks in 2004.[3].
In 2003 he had a solo show Be Angry but Don't Stop Breathing[4] as part of the Art Now series at Tate Britain.[5]
His work is held in the permanent collections of the South London Gallery,[6] the United Kingdom Government Art Collection[7] and the Tate.[8]
