DKUK is pleased to announce a new work by Alan Kane opening in Spring 2015. Kane will be exhibiting a ‘useable’ sculpture which responds to the unique environment of the hairdressing salon at DKUK. In Vanity Suite/Sorry, Kane offers a wry take on the long tradition of contemplating mortality within art.
