Alice Channer - Body Conscious - The Approach - London

18th March – 24th April 2011

In Body Conscious, Alice Channer’s second solo show at The Approach, the focus of her work has moved away from the body of the room, to the human bodies it is in the room with. The body itself is never represented, instead, a conscious human body is everywhere that the work is not. The body that the works bring about is neither solid and central, or immediate and primal. Instead, it is mediated and extended by technology and commodified. Both of these factors explode and expand it, as well as contracting and concentrating it. The works consider the way in which the artists’ sensory apparatus - her tools as an artist - are mediated by consumption and technology.
