Mark Butcher joins Switch as Associate Artist

Switch is delighted to welcome Mark Butcher as our third associate artist. Mark has worked with the company on previous my site | in space events, developing work that explored participation and control. Among these pieces was the remarkable Instructions for a Call, in which individual audience members were invited to 'play' the artist in a scripted dialogue with his grandmother in Plymouth. Mark also recently collaborated with core artist Ewelina Kolaczek to create "Smash the control images..." at Performances That Kill.

my site | in space 4 - Sat 22nd and Sun 23rd Nov, afternoons

my site | in space is a series of site-specific performance events. A group of artists work under time pressure to create performance in response to a space. Each event is ephemeral: created in a flash, never to be performed again.

The fourth version of my site | in space will take place at Resistance Gallery, a double-height railway arch in Bethnal Green. For this event guest curator Katja Hileevaara works with Ewelina Kolaczek to facilitate and curate the work.

Performances That Kill was an evening of performance art created in response to Charles Gatewood's photography. Switch curated a series of interventions and performances that took place in the gallery where Gatewood's work was being exhibited.

As well as work created by core artists Justin Allen & Ewelina Kolaczek and associate artist Mark Butcher, the evening included a new commission from remarkable emerging artist Rachel Parry.
