12 Years of Turf: In Conversation with Alice Channer

What support do artists need to develop a creative career?
About this Event

What support do artists need to develop a creative career? As part of our 2025/26 LEGACY programme year, we’re inviting Turf alumni artists back to reflect on and discuss their careers since their involvement with Turf. Join Turf CoDirector Rosie Crane Eckmire for an informal discussion with artist Alice Channer, reflecting on their 2019 Turf show Birthing Pool, what she’s been up to since & exploring the importance of artist-led spaces like Turf in their development.

ABOUT ALICE:

Alice Channer is an artist working with sculpture. Her forms and materials are found in the social and sensual worlds of industrial and natural processes. Over long periods of time, she immerses herself in organic and synthetic materials and production processes to find forms within them that she develops as sculpture. Her method is both experimental and precise, collaborating with people, machines, and materials to bring multiple bodies and voices into her polyphonic works.
