For its inaugural project NEW STUDIO, a new contemporary art space in east London, presents a free live performance from sunrise to sunset by Danish artist Sophie Dupont, the first presentation of her work in the UK.
From 05:57am-08:02pm on Saturday 18 April the artist will mark into a silver panel each breath she takes, drawing our attention to the simple yet fundamental action of breathing. Requiring an extraordinary degree of restraint and endurance, Dupont sits silently during the entire performance and enters a deep state of meditative drawing.
