The Late Shows 2014
Stu Herring: Brick vessel
Saturday 17 May 2014, 7-11pm
Coinciding with the last day of his exhibition at the gallery, Existence Experiments, Herring will be building a circular wall around himself until he is entirely cut off from the audience. ‘Brick vessel’ is the latest of Herring’s works to explore through ritualistic acts his ongoing investigation of notions of personal freedom.

The evening of The Late Shows will also afford the last opportunity to see the group show Eulogy, curated by LUME Projects at Vane.
