Trafficking in a subtly surreal sense of illusion, British artist Alice Channer makes
hard materials, such as marble and steel, appear malleable and fluid, and brings
a complex sculptural presence to flat images. Her works, which often take the
form of photographs printed on long narrow bolts of fabric, cascade from ceilings
in cavernous rooms or undulate on the floor. Channer recently realized a major
installation for the 55th Venice Biennale, Il Palazzo Enciclopedico (The Encyclopedic
Palace).
