Hetain Patel is a visual artist and performance maker. In recent years, Patel has done Bruce Lee impersonations on stage at the Royal Opera House, completed commissions for Tate Modern and Sadler’s Wells, London, made a working class Transformer robot from an old Ford Fiesta (with his dad), designed part of a mini golf course for the Venice Biennale, toured his live performance, TEN, internationally (in English and French), made his first dance company work for Candoco, and was invited to do a TED talk which has since had over 2.5 million hits. As part of Re-sight (a programme of public talks at Manchester Art Gallery discussing the commissioning, production and presentation of film and video within a visual arts context) he will be reflecting on his career to date.
