Eddie Peake DEM, performed at Cell Project Space, London, 2012

Eddie Peake DEM, performed at Cell Project Space, London, 2012

Eddie Peake presents a new performance made especially for the Tanks. He works with bodies, movement and music, playfully exploring physical form in all its manifestations – Peake’s ‘bodies’ become both sculptural and sexual objects via choreographed actions, encouraging the audience to give in to voyeuristic desire.

Eddie Peake (born 1981, London) lives and works in London. Recent solo exhibitions displaying his work in sculpture, painting, performance and photography, include DEM, Cell Project Space, London (2012); Boydem, Mihai Nicodim, Los Angeles (2011); The Loving Clutches of My Hands, Southard Reid, London (2011); Double Negative, Christopher Crescent, London (2011); History, Lorcan O’Neill Streetview Project, Rome (2010); Ladies, Parade, London (2008).
