Keef Winter is based in Space Studios in London. He works using a material language he calls the Handyman Aesthetic combining his interests in art & architecture with sculpture, installation, drumming and performance. Winter's studio process generates abstract apparatus that reference urban dissonance and reflect on cultish practices. Often his structural installations directly respond to the space where shown.

'Handyman' is a new music performance act by Winter. His track-list is a medley of everyday feelings sung for you, with songs like 'High-street girl', 'Wandering hands' and 'I'm squatting in your condo', Winter will test the acoustic properties of Obrera Centro in February during Zona Maco Art Fair, using a high-energy drumming style alongside some heavy bass and slippery dance moves.
