Tom Barnett Exhibition Enters Final Phase With Performance Piece

Tom Barnett

A new exhibition by Tom Barnett  will see a space in Peckham transformed from the immersive, multimedia environment of the past two weeks into its closing configuration. In the third and final week featuring an audiovisual installation set within an imagined landscape, a new iteration will be introduced by a performance on the night.

The evening will also see the launch of CLIMBING CASTEL MONTE, an illustrated short story. The fairy tale narrative accompanies a film of the same name shot by the artist in Spoleto, Italy in the summer of 2013. The book is a ‘Published by Guy’ production.

A limited edition box designed by the artist and published by Studio Hato press (details below) will also be available to view at the opening, alongside copies of THE BEAUTIFUL GAME artist’s book. THE BEAUTIFUL GAME is an exhibition in three acts bringing together Tom Barnett’s work in the worlds of sculpture, painting, live performance, music, choreography, installation and film. For pictures from the two preceding performances please visit our facebook page.
 
Tom Barnett (b. London, 1984) has spent the last two years expanding the scope of his art to involve his ambitions as a musician and performer, to reflect his interest in areas of human creativity, and to revisit earlier works and materials, memories and subjects in the pursuit of progress.

Recent works include: In the Making, Art Brussels curated by Katarina Gregos (2013); Future Primitive, V&A, London (2013) and the closing performance for the Copeland Book Market (2013).
