After a long search I have now moved into a new larger studio space! Im currently developing new works using the extra space!

I have now finished de-installing ‘Suspended Exhalation’ at the Son Gallery!

The went very well and I would like to thank everyone involved, especially those that put up with me using their flats, rooms, studios to sew countless PVC squares in the middle of my studio relocation. The work has now been packed and ready to move to The Hospital Club on Sunday where I will be re-installing the work, giving my lungs a few days to recover. The fully re-inflated piece will be on show in the lobby when the club opens Monday morning and be up for till the 16^th of May. Hope you can all make it down!

Me de-installing Suspended Exhalation at The Son Gallery

Alex Shepherd
SUSPENDED EXHALATION @ SON Gallery

APRIL 15 – APRIL 25
PRIVATE VIEW: APRIL 14, 6.30 – 9.00pm

In a continuation of his exploration of form and artistic fallibility Shepherd will create a monumental structure fabricated from over 200 square-meters of supple PVC and 500 latex balloons. The artist’s creative existence will be temporarily trapped within the installation: as Shepherd describes, ‘It does not freeze a captured moment in time but creates a kink in the artist’s lineal interaction with existence and time. It is in the kinks delaying of time that art emerges and is created.’

Following the success of his exhibition at the Son Gallery’ in Peckam, Alex Shepherds presents: an edited version of Suspended Exhalation for The Hospital Club. …”In Suspended Exhalation, the artist’s exhaled breath is used as a building material to inflate the work. In so doing Shepherd is trapping those moments of shared existence within the balloons, keeping it in a transparent plastic box separate from the world. A moment, which is slowly re-released into the exhibition space as the balloons naturally deflate in time.”
