Biography: 
1968 Born in (UK)
Simon Morris (b.1968) is an English artist and teacher.
His work appears in the form of exhibitions, publications, installations, actions and texts which all revolve around the form of the book. Morris initiated the following projects: bibliomania (1998-2001); interpretation (2002); The Royal Road to the Unconscious (2003); re-writing Freud (2005); sucking on words (2007) and making nothing happen (2009).
His investigations involve working in collaboration with many other people from art, creative technology, literature and psychoanalysis. His role as an artist is to create a theoretical space that others feel comfortable working in and to erase his own ego in order to stimulate desire in others. He works to create a space of transference where linking and connecting can take place, a shared space of encounter. Morris proposes a collaborative model as the most productive way of working. His work is often inspired by the work of others ? his engagement is poetic rather than logical. It may involve a purposeful misreading of the source material or even re-writing. The methodologies he utilises include destruction, rupture, erasure, nonsense, concealment and the irrational which allow him to create a fluid space of non-meaning. By working with non-meaning, the spectator is put to work in the construction of meaning. Morris is not interested in the traditional role of the artist as author/maker and intentionally leaves a gap in his work, a space for the art of the reader.
