South London Gallery
To take a trip to South London Gallery has been on my to do list for a long time, I was glad when I finally got to visit the space on Friday. In the large bright room, is beautifully printed crepe de chine suspended from the cathedral ceiling, that gives you a bit of a Wow! effect at arrival.
With the "Out of the Body" Exhibit Alice Channer brings together both the humanly and the spacial elements. I feel I can see muscles in the drapery and other parts like ears and eyes are sort of deconstructed on the walls and along the floor. Altogether you have Alice Channer body sort of existing in the room with you, while you do your discoveries.

says:
“I am not trying to oppose or find alternatives to the things that separate
us from ourselves – the machine, the industrial, the virtual, the
commercial. Instead, I am seduced by these things and am becoming part of
them through the work. The work is me, breathing, feeling and thinking with,
through and as part of the processes and materials that make up the industrial
and post-industrial late-capitalist world that I live in and that constitute my
work.”
