It is with great pleasure that we feature the work of artist, curator and ‘talking head’ Martin Sexton.

Martin’s ‘Truth Machine – Free Stonehenge’ invites us to explore the corporate carnival that is 21st Century Stonehenge.




This work forms just part of Sexton’s interaction with the ancient stone monument. He is shortly to display ‘Switching ON Stonehenge’ an active work – To explain: “a soundtrack plays out a segue of classic Rock anthems amplified through stacked Marshall amps, that make up the shape of one of Stonhenges great ‘arches’ — interrupted by radio static and voice-overs of governmental laws limiting public gatherings and collective protest. The work is not without humor – having obvious connotations from popular culture and film. Although very much in the free spirit of rock n’ roll, the artwork also poses a serious question, dealing with aspects of diminishing liberties within the UK, surveillance society, ID cards and the like.” (Press Release, Martin Sexton)
