Booth BE02
For the inaugural edition of ART SG, Sadie Coles HQ (Booth BE02) will present Lawrence Lek’s 2065, a continuously expanding virtual world created by the artist for his acclaimed 2017 film Geomancer. Set in and around Singapore and featuring the Marina Bay area, the game envisages a speculative future, in which Lek explores the prospect of an AI driven post-work society. Lek’s recent solo exhibitions include: Post-Sinofuturism, ZiWU, The Bund, Shanghai in 2022, TRI_SOLO, BANK/MABSOCIETY, Shanghai; and Farsight Freeport, HeK House of Electronic Arts Basel, Basel (2019).
A new neon by Alex Da Corte entitled Double Rainbow, 2022, envisages a faithful remake of a neon prop in the background of Mariah Carey’s 1999 album Rainbow; in which the artist extends his multifaceted exploration of popular culture, self-representation and identity. This month, Da Corte will unveil The Street, a major new exhibition of new work installed at the Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery at University of the Arts, Philadelphia (13 January – 10 March 2023). Significant recent solo exhibitions include those at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebæk, a major commission for The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and Prada Rong Zhai, Shanghai.
Sarah Lucas’s CROSS DORIS, 2019, a part of the artist’s iconic, ongoing Bunny series rendered in bronze and concrete. Originally conceived in 1997, Lucas’s iconic Bunny sculptures comprise biomorphic forms – in nylon tights stuffed with fluff – manipulated to evoke female nudes. In CROSS DORIS, the figure reclines arms and legs folded, in a comedic attitude of nonchalance that serves to confront and invert the vulnerability in her nudity. In September 2023, a major retrospective exhibition of works by Sarah Lucas at Tate Britain. The exhibition follows institutional solo shows in recent years at National Gallery of Australia, Canberra (2021); Red Brick Art Museum, Beijing (2019); the acclaimed mid-career retrospective Au Naturel, New Museum (2018, touring to Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, 2019). In 2015, Lucas represented Great Britain at the 56th Venice International Art Biennale, Venice.
Made in 2022, a number of panels by Helen Marten entitled The Almost Horse depict a Romantic landscape and frog temperature gauge. The panels each host part of a fictional tale by Marten that collectively tell the story of a generative friendship between two strangers and their horse. The works form part of Marten’s latest body of work Third Moment Profile | The Almost Horse, firstshown at the Davies Street gallery this autumn. On the occasion of the exhibition Marten was interviewed by Ben Luke for The Art Newspaper’s podcast A Brush with.. – listen to the full interview here. Also on view are works by gallery artists including: Alvaro Barrington, Don Brown, Alex Da Corte, Urs Fischer, Jonathan Horowitz, Jim Lambie, Lawrence Lek, Sarah Lucas, Helen Marten, Victoria Morton, Wilhelm Sasnal, Katja Seib and Ryan Sullivan.
