This web site is a showcase for Peter Eccleston’s work and ideas. As well as fine art there is a large section on his views of art, past and present and related issues (to be found in the Library) and also to give artists or people with an interest in art, the opportunity to view a studio and all its idiosyncrasies, in its attempt to become a fully functioning seat of creation.

Peter Eccleston is an artist based in the North West of England and works from a large purpose built studio (built with blood sweat and tears).

He has exhibited at the Royal Academy with painting, Cork Street with sculpture and regularly takes private commissions.

Gallery: Bohemian Work Out

13 Nov - 1 Dec Munich, Germany
Traditionell gilt die Figur des Künstlers als Antithese zum fleißig arbeitenden Bürger. In Zeiten des Prekariats wird der Künstler jedoch zum Vorzeigemodell des modernen und flexiblen Arbeitnehmers. Die Ausstellung „Bohemian Work Out” stellt exemplarisch Arbeiten ins Zentrum, die künstlerische Produktion und Selbstdarstellung reflektieren und …

…ihren Zusammenhang mit der kapitalistischen Arbeitswelt untersuchen - und das häufig mit einem augenzwinkernden Rückgriff auf Bohème-Klischees.

Mit Videos von szuper gallery (London/München), Kelly Warman (Rotterdam), Ina Wudtke (Berlin), Videoessays von Anna McCarthy, Veronika Dimke, Beate Engl, Melanie Stiehl und anderen Münchner KünstlerInnen, sowie einer Installation von K2 Aufbauorganisation (München)
