Dean Blunt's '28S' exhibition at SPACE Studios

Last week, Dean Blunt presented Brixton 28s, an exhibition of mixed material solo work at Hackney’s SPACE studios. The three day installation/performance art piece was accompanied by this description on the SPACE website:

The exhibition also featured a performance from J-Star Valentine impersonating Blunt. Valentine is a singer who has, in the past, uploaded acapella versions of Dean Blunt songs to Youtube.

See some images from the exhibition (featuring, amongst other things, a man laying face down on the floor, a VHS copy of All Dogs Go To Heaven and a still from Bullet Boy) and watch a video of J-Star Valentine’s performance below. As ever, any attempts to decode Blunt’s art will prove fruitless.
