Alice Channer

ALICE CHANNER: OUT OF BODY

EXHIBITION: 2 MARCH - 13 MAY 2012

PRESS VIEW: THURSDAY 1 MARCH 2012, 10AM-12PM - RSVP
PREVIEW: THURSDAY 1 MARCH 2012, 6.30-8.30PM

For her South London Gallery exhibition, British artist Alice Channer has created an installation of entirely new 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.  

Out of Body brings together a group of sculptural works which the artist defines as being figurative, but from which recognisable representation of the human form is as noticeable by its absence as by its presence. It is the tension born of that relationship which weaves a binding thread between pieces made in a broad range of materials, using a variety of techniques and on radically differing scales. 

Entering the main gallery the viewer is confronted by Cold Metal Body, a radically stretched and distorted digital print of stone-carved classical drapery, suspended from the impressive height of the space and held to the floor by a marble surrogate limb. The bodily references are direct if not immediately obvious in this work, but less so is the distinction between what is human and what is not. Two other pieces, entitled Lungs and Eyes, span the space in a different way, each one occupying opposite walls, 20 metres in length, in a sequence of aluminium frames which take their forms from Yves Saint Laurent’s drawings for his famous ‘Le Smoking’ suits. Establishing a dialogue between the industrially-produced metal armatures and the artist’s body, every frame has been hand-covered in machine-sewn Spandex sleeves, which have been digitally printed with an ink impression of Channer’s arm, stretched beyond recognition. 

Adding to this complex web of relationships between various methods of production and references to the human body, floor-based sculptures entitled Amphibians and Reptiles combine machined, hand-carved and polished marble with aluminium casts of stretch-fit Topshop clothing and mirror polished stainless steel which has been digitally cut and industrially rolled along hand-drawn lines.

In talking about the show, Channer 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.”

Channer graduated from London's Goldsmiths College in 2006, and the Royal College of Art in 2008, and has since shown in numerous group shows as well as at The Approach, London.

The exhibition is accompanied by the publication of the artist’s first monograph.

The exhibition is supported by Vicky Hughes and John Smith, The Henry Moore Foundation and The Elephant Trust. With additional thanks to The Approach.

Cremasteric reflex

A selection of films chosen and introduced by Alice Channer.

Helena Wlodarczyk, Slad (Trace), 1976, 35mm transferred on DVD, 13 min
This film about the acclaimed Polish sculptor Alina Szapocznikow (1926-73) was made by Wlodarczyk, one of Szapocznikow's own students. Amongst other works, it presents Le Voyage (The Journey), one of the artists' figurative sculptures, moving seemingly of its own accord through the streets of Lodz, Poland.

Ken Russell, Pop Goes The Easel, 1962, 44 min
This film was made for the eponymous BBC Monitor series and, at the time, it was considered a cutting edge depiction of London's Pop Art scene. Presenting successive portraits of artists Peter Blake, Peter Phillips, Derek Boshier and Pauline Boty, it is mostly shot in the artists' flats and studios. Rather than working in an interview format, the film brings an often surreal, richly textured visual and musical insight in the work and lives of the artists.

Geoffrey Haydon, Ed Ruscha, 1980, 28 min
This documentary about American painter Ed Ruscha was produced for the BBC Seven Artists Series. It follows the artist travelling around Los Angeles as he constructs an imitation boulder and takes it out of the city to place it in the desert. As the film progresses, elements of the Los Angeles landscape, both visual and aural, become interchangeable with frames of his drawings and paintings. The film itself becomes a landscape of Ruscha's practice.

Booking is essential.
