Monika Sosnowska: Weight of Matter

Weight of Matter is a major exhibition by Polish artist Monika Sosnowska at South London Gallery, spanning the Main Gallery and the Fire Station.

Sosnowska is known for transforming familiar architectural materials such as steel beams, railings, staircases and structural frameworks into compressed, bent and apparently unstable sculptural forms. Her work draws on the social and political histories embedded in modernist and postwar architecture while testing where building ends and sculpture begins.

The exhibition forms part of South London Gallery’s 135th-anniversary programme and is free to visit.
