From Floor to Sky

Opens: 05/03/2010 Closes: 04/04/2010 Ambika P3, London

Art tutor Peter Kardia is famous for nurturing some of the most significant British sculptors of the last fifty years. And for devising the experimental ‘locked room' course at St Martins. He curates this exhibition at the vast Ambika P3, which features Richard Deacon and Hamish Fulton, among others.
