South London Gallery presents “Three Social Works”, a solo exhibition featuring video works by the artist Erik van Lieshout, marked by an absurdist sense of humour and provocative questioning of the role of art and artists in society.

Among the event held by the gallery, there are major solo shows by established international figures such as Dara Birnbaum, Ellen Gallagher, Sanja Iveković, Michael Landy, Rivane Neuenschwander, Pae White and Lawrence Weiner. However the gallery also promotes young and mid-career artists such as Alice Channer, Ryan Gander, Oscar Murillo, Eva Rothschild and George Shaw.
