Remember that 80s film where twinkle-eyed Andrew McCarthy brings a shop mannequin to life and they enjoy a fulfilling relationship and brilliant careers as visual merchandisers? Well, these sculptures by Turner Prize-nominated brothers Jake and Dinos Chapman are pretty much the opposite of that. If you’ve got a hankering to hear more from the artists who brought you conjoined fibreglass child mannequins, naked but for their trainers, you should get along to hear Jake Chapman discuss works such as this one, Tragic Anatomies.
