Sheehan explores those interests through performative actions and film. Sheehan’s work is usually produced in open spaces that are accessible to the passing public. This gives his work a sense of fragility and vulnerability due to the chance of it being disturbed by the human element of curiosity.

In 2016, Sheehan will embark on two month-long residencies. The first residence will take place in April, at Arts Letters in Albany, New York, USA, succeeded by a residence in August, at the Cultural Centre Vanha Paukku in Lapua, Finland.

Stephen Sheehan is a Liverpool Biennial Associate Artist. Sheehan has been paired with Övül Durmusoglu (Freelance Writer and Curator and Director of YAMA screen in Istanbul, Turkey).
