Curiouser and Curiouser!

Eleven contemporary artists from Spain, the USA and the UK have immersed themselves in the worlds Lewis Carroll created in his two books Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking Glass and have timed this exhibition of their work to coincide with the 150th anniversary of the first publication of the books. From tiny details through to sweeping concepts, each artist has approached the ideas presented in 'Alice' from surprisingly different angles: from an interactive, mechanical sculpture, intricate drawings, complex prints and alarming sculpture through to imaginative character portraits, disorienting paintings and 3D-printed sculpture.

Participating artists: Graham Asker, Julie Caves, Mireia Donat Melús, Valerie Gladwin Montgomery, Esperanza Gómez-Carrera, Nick Hazzard, Ruth Jones, Peter Lang, Matt Smith, Liz Whiteman Smith, Sara Wickenden.


Espacio Gallery, 159 Bethnal Green Road, London, E2 7DG. Free entry.
Open from 2nd – 14th June, 1–7pm daily apart from Sundays 1–5pm. Shut Mondays.
