FAT HEAD BALLOON SELF-PORTRAIT EXERCISING FOR EXORCISING (MEIN DOPPELGANGER) MY LIGHTS (KOKOPELLI) C3PO

June 18, 2008—July 30, 2008

Simon Preston Gallery is pleased to present Fat Head Balloon Self-Portrait; Exercising for Exorcising (Mein Doppelganger); My Lights (Kokopelli); C3PO which opens to the public on Wednesday, June 18 and runs until Wednesday, July 30.

The central subject of Tim Hawkinson’s work is often his own body, which he inflates, measures, weighs and animates. Eschewing conventional self-portraiture, Hawkinson uses his own physical form as a starting point for investigations into material, perception and time. His analytical, often humorous approach, is balanced by a suggestion of spirituality. The latex skin of Fat Head Balloon Self-Portrait provides the perfect metaphor for simultaneous protection and exposure.
