The exhibition features a raised scaffold walkway spanning the length of the 90 metre long Curve providing a stage for performance and a viewing platform for visitors.

A group of performers carry out a looped choreography of dance movement in synchronisation with sound and video works dispersed around the space. Around the scaffold walkway, a number of structures rendered in plaster, acrylic and red velvet form a maze-like pathway throughout the gallery, functioning both as backdrops and objects for the performers to interact with.

Eddie Peake’s cross-disciplinary practice incorporates sculpture, installation, performance, painting, video and sound to create a playful environment that explores language, physical movement, sexuality and identity, as well as architecture’s power to influence behaviour.
