Eddie Peake: Organ Harvast

Eddie Peake is a London artist who works with performance, video, photography, painting, sculpture, sound and installation. Through exhibition projects, he addresses autobiographical and self-identity

themes, often emphasising the relationship between the audience and the artwork, the viewer and the viewed. He explores the implicit drama within relationships, reflecting on the impact of desire, sexuality, socio-political and cultural constructions, as well as psychological states such as depression.

Organ Harvest is a football match between two teams of five players with one referee. Competitive in nature, this game, like any other, fun and exciting, or banal and boring. Played conventionally, it is not “performed”. Two simple shifts render the game unusual: one is the context of the art gallery in which it takes place and the other is the fact that all the players are nude.
