Nathan Witt is a British artist and writer. His work is primarily interested in de-materiality and over ten years has produced texts as specific counter-images and counter-objects, focusing on the integrity of the motive and its manipulation. His work is interested in looking at the material as a by-product and a frequency, as well as questioning contemporary notions of participation.

 

Over the last two years Witt has been working in Palestine and Lebanon looking at the conflicting religious calendars found in Jerusalem and working around abstract notions of time and displacement; the work has been supported by the Arts Council of England and the British Council who have granted an Artists International Development Grant for Witt to attend Ashkal Alwan’s Home Workspace Programme in Beirut. A graduate from the Royal College of Art in 2003, Witt has worked with Delfina Foundation, Art School Palestine, [SPACE] Studios, Batroun Art Projects, 98 Weeks, Beirut, Hospitalfield Arts in Arbroath and has published NOOO, an e-book commissioned by [SPACE] about Object Orientated Ontology, Ecology and Madness with Federico Campagna, edited by Lucy Mercer.
