At the beginning of June, Eddy performed a one hour seminar to a grove of cypress trees. This was part of Rhod 2012, a show held at Melin Glonc in Drefelin, West Wales, curated by Kathryn Campbell and funded by the Arts Council of Wales. 10 selected artists were asked to respond to the mill and its surroundings. Eddy’s seminar was called ‘Moving away from Arborescence- Towards a Rhizomatic Future’. It was filmed by Penny Jones, and the DVD shown in the mill for the duration of the show. A shorter follow-up session was performed live with the trees at the opening on the 3rd of June.
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.
