LA-based Lauren Halsey is taking over Serpentine South in what will be her first solo exhibition in the UK. Halsey is known for her maximalist work blends influences like funk, architecture and iconography of ancient African cultures and acts as creative resistance to the gentrification of South Central LA. With emajendat she’ll be transforming the Serpentine South galleries into an immersive maximalist ‘funk garden’ with a live water feature, found objects, sculpture, plants and wallpaper, alongside her first moving image work.
