June 2012, and saxophonist James Sweeting played a pop-up music recital on the site of the former Shipton Street Settlement in Upperthorpe, Sheffield, devised and filmed by Eddy. It featured numbers from a 1927 concert played at the Settlement. The DVD was shown at a conference about the late warden, Arnold Freeman, at Freeman College, Sheffield, and was later accepted into the Freeman Archive at Sheffield University.
Eddy Dreadnought is a contemporary artist, who uses performance, writing, drawing, video, installation, found objects and photography. His work is often based on significant research.
His art aims to raise questions about the world around us, but open questions posed in a sensory, poetic way. It is preoccupied with the horizontal, as opposed to the hierarchical, the attractions of denial and forgetting, the recession, the history of cultural revolutions, and the dangers of certainty.
He works out of Sheffield, UK, where he gained a BA (Hons) in Fine Art (first class), and more recently an MA in Contemporary Fine Art Practice in 2010. Both from Sheffield Hallam University under his non-artists name.
