His key method is to take apparently innocuous interplays of people and situations and extend and iterate them until the ensuing mess reveals fundamental hairline cracks in the everyday.<\/p>\n<p>After studying Fine Art at BA (Liverpool Polytechnic) and MA (Chelsea College of Art &amp; Design) levels, Morse has made a career exhibiting widely, both in the UK and abroad. His most recent solo shows include \u2018The Evaporating Office\u2019 at Meter Room in Coventry, \u2018The Butler\u2019s Cough\u2019 at Grey Area in Brighton, and \u2018I Cannot See The Trees But I Can Hear the Mountain\u2019 at Gooden Gallery in London (who also represent him).<\/p>\n<p>Morse has also pursued a parallel career in television. His work as a designer of interactive TV games garnered a BAFTA nomination. He has subsequently worked extensively as a question writer for a range of TV quiz shows, from \u2018Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?\u2019 to \u2018Eggheads\u2019. His work in this area, with its very particular forms of address and its creation of hierarchies of knowledge, has informed his art practice greatly.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"About Mediamorphosis\" href=\"http:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/2013\/03\/18\/joe-stephenson_interactives-experimental-interactive-toys-and-museum-installations_tbc\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/mediamorphosis\/about\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>MEDIAMORPHOSIS, May 10, 2013<\/strong><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Simon Morse is an artist who creates, appropriates and distorts verbal and visual systems in order to examine the state&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":432,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[13,9,10],"tags":[14],"class_list":["post-509","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-may-10-2013","category-mediamorphosis","category-speaker","tag-mediamophosis"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/files\/2013\/03\/Simon-Morse_slider.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p3fAHJ-8d","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=509"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":608,"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/509\/revisions\/608"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/432"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=509"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reframe.sussex.ac.uk\/mediamorphosis\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
