Little Deaths and Bad Thoughts The short films of Suffolk-based artist Alex Pearl have a tendency to explore the darker side of human existence through the witty characters and amusing situations he creates. His continuing series of ‘Little Deaths’ transform familiar objects into black comedy sketches portraying unfortunate and often tragic circumstances, whilst taste and decency will be brought into question through humorous observations in his new ‘Bad Thoughts’ works. Alex’s work can be seen at Hide Bar & Kitchen, Whiting Street, Bury St Edmunds between 11 and 27 May and as part of the Joking Aside exhibition at the Art Gallery. Children from St Louis’ Middle School will be working with Alex and making their own ‘Bad Thoughts’ films during the Festival Residency. You can see the results in the Art Gallery’s Art Lounge from 22 May; alternatively, pick up your own DVD to take home! To find out more about Alex’s work visit www.rotagavin.blogspot.com
