From Saturday 1st October
Ben Woodeson @ Elevator Gallery
Moveable sculpture by Ben Woodeson at Elevator Gallery this October. Woodeson is best known for his Health & Safety Violation series, part of which included asking visitors to traverse a gallery floor covered with 33,000 ball bearings. Works from that series as well as more recent Causality pieces make up this solo show in Hackney Wick.
