TICK TACK

TICK TACK is thrilled to announce Fourth Wall Death Rattle, the first Belgian solo exhibition by the renowned British artist Eddie Peake (London, 1981).

Eddie Peake works with performance, video, photography, painting, sculpture, sound and installation. His work explores the implicit drama within relationships in the broadest sense, and how desire, sexuality and psychological states such as depression impact on them. Peake is also preoccupied by language, and indeed it is in the discrepancy between words and any other language, say, images, emotions, bodily movements or sounds, that his art is located.

Eddie Peake’s exhibitions and performances have been staged internationally including at Galeria Municipal do Porto, Portugal (2025); CIRCA, Piccadilly Circus, London (2020); White Cube, London (2018); the Fiorucci Art Trust Volcano Extravaganza, Naples and Stromboli (2017); Barbican Art Gallery, London (2015); Palais de Tokyo, Paris (2015); Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (2014) and The Tanks at Tate Modern, London in conjunction with the Chisenhale Gallery, London (2012). Peake also DJs under a pseudonym and runs a record label imprint called Hymn.

For Fourth Wall Death Rattle, the artist will unfold a site specific installation across TICK TACK’s three exhibition floors that sets the stage for a new series of paintings.

To celebrate the opening of the exhibition, TICK TACK invites AHMD to host an afterparty at Bar Volt.

AHMD is an artist-run organisation founded by Eddie Peake, George Henry Longly and Prem Sahib in 2011. Starting as a queer club night, hosting live performances, DJ sets and exhibitions in London, AHMD has since become an umbrella name for numerous creative projects that centre around collaboration and building a community and space for artists and DJs to experiment and develop their work. It aims to encourage more conversation between the visual and sonic arts, as they relate to and extend from club culture and nightlife. AHMD has staged events internationally, including New York, Rome, and Sao Paulo, with each iteration engaging local artists and extending the network and community.

TICK TACK, founded in 2019, produces, presents and promotes international exhibitions and video art screenings, complemented with limited edition publications and an extensive digital archive. Housed in the brutalist complex ‘De Zonnewijzer’ (The Sundial), a 1955 key work by architect Léon Stynen, TICK TACK occupies a historic duplex at a vivid city intersection, facing the tram stop and landscape park 'De Harmonie'. The 6-meter-high window functions as an interface between artists and audience, and between private and public space.

The TICK TACK program is dual. By day, TICK TACK presents exhibitions, at sunset, the window transforms into a projection screen under the name CINEMA TICK TACK. As a result, both day and night, TICK TACK constantly challenges the physical and mental boundaries between inside and out.
