Mark Titmarsh

Titmarsh was awarded the Grace Cossington Art Award in 2016 and The Lake Macquarie Regional Art Prize in 1989.

A monograph about his work, titled, The Thing, was written by Cameron Tonkinwise, and published by Artspace. Sydney, in 2006.

In the 1990s he co-founded the Sydney-based artist's run initiative Art Hotline exhibiting weekly one day exhibitions of ephemeral works in non-gallery everyday sites. He is the editor of an eponymously titled book documenting the 3-year life of the project.

During this period Titmarsh was a prolific film artist. His work as a painter was included in Australian Perspecta 1989 and his film work was shown in Australian Perspecta 1986.

Following the 1983 festival, The Sydney Super 8 Film Group, with Titmarsh the sole continuing member from the previous year, was formed and continued to organise and stage festivals, publish film readers and tour programs of film throughout the 1980s.

During the early 1980s Titmarsh was a key figure in the underground Super 8 film scene. He produced a number of film projects in Super 8, and in 1982, with Ross Gibson, Lindy Lee, Deirdre Beck and Janet Burchill, formed the Super 8 Collective, who together staged the 3rd Sydney Super 8 Film Festival at the Chauvel Cinema, Paddington, Sydney
