WILHELM SASNAL
02 June 2009 - 11 July 2009
69 South Audley Street and 9 Balfour Mews
For his third show at Sadie Coles HQ, Wilhelm Sasnal is showing a series of new paintings and a 16mm film.
Two main themes emerge from this new body of work, those of food sovereignty and earthly idylls. Paintings of coffee mounds, unmarked barrels, brightly coloured tubs, and a hazy Cuban road: all speak of trade, transportation and global agricultural networks. The politics of food are seen not in the narrow sense of consumerism, but rather as part of an urgent study of globalization and currencies of exchange in the modern capitalist era.
