Mark Greenwood
Mark Greenwood is a performance artist/writer who recently completed an M.A in Performance Writing at Dartington College of Arts. ‘The Form' is a response to ‘Public Pages' and represents an acknowledgement of the betting shop as a location in which the activities of betting and gambling on horse racing constitute what Greenwood terms as a ‘writerly practice'. Aspects of ritualistic behaviour, decision making, the habitual and notions of chance accompany and foreground this ‘writerly practice' which draws on a systematic evaluation of information that is reproduced concurrently across the U.K on any given day.
Greenwood has written through and around a typical example of the betting shop display sheet, utilising betting slips written and presented to him by the public and the outcomes of each race in order to generate a textual work that explores relationships between past and present, mediated and the immediate.
