Alice Channer: Out of Body at the South London Gallery, 2 March – 13 May 2012

For her South London Gallery exhibition, British artist Alice Channer has created an installation of entirely new sculptural works which extend her exploration of the relationship between the human body, personal adornment, materials and sculpture. In these figurative works, Channer questions established hierarchies within the history of art, objects and clothing, and offers a unique perspective on manufacturing, the hand-made and consumer culture.

Admission free. For more details go to the South London Gallery’s website.
