Review:

Sexton and Lacloche have crafted some extraordinary things, including a levitating head of john the baptist, jumbo leaves with 
photos on them, and socrates' head made out of a meteorite. Incongruously this is all presented in a warehouse in redchurch 
street. Any one of these pieces alone might be more impactful alone but also more interesting than most of the stuff at the 
expensively refurbished but vacuous whitechapel. Meeting sexton himself, often lurking in the vicinity of redchurch, you will feel 
struck by the force of a conversational meteorite, and giddy with the incredible enthusiasm he brings to his art. Perhaps he should 
be exhibited in a cage at the tate.
