David Critchley was born in 1953. He studied at Stockport College, Newcastle

Upon Tyne Polytechnic and the Royal College of Art, London. One of the

organisers of the influential series of installations and media performances

at 2B Butler's Wharf in the late 1970s, Critchley was also a central figure

in the organisation of London Video Arts from its inception in 1976, and as

manager between 1981-86. He taught video at the Slade, Chelsea and Croyden

and was a visiting lecturer at many UK art colleges in the late 70s and

early 80s. His video artworks were screened widely in the UK, in Europe,

North America and worldwide. After LVA he formed and ran the video

production company Greenstreet Ltd until 1991. Now an art teacher, his work

combines video, photography and installations such as 'Cradle to Grave', a

permanent exhibit in the Wellcome Trust Gallery at the British Museum made

in collaboration with Pharmacopoeia-art.
