ALICE CHANNER
Soft Shell
13 September – 10 November 2013
Soft shell is the first solo institutional exhibition by Alice Channer in Germany. The title might connote the shell of an architecture or an animal, but devolves from represenation to signify a sculpture’s constructed form. Channer emphasises the blurring of distinctions between organic and synthetic forms, using sculpture as a metaphor for the denaturalised body. Under the skylight filtered by blue film, the space of the Kunstverein is envisaged as a transformatorial medium in which objects may be both art and artificial life.
