Martine Syms: Grand Calme

Sadie Coles HQ presents the gallery’s first exhibition with Los Angeles-based artist Martine Syms.

– It will be like the first warm day after a brutal winter and you greet the sun on your face.

Close my eyes and pretend I don’t exist.

I want to “cultivate a sense of privilege.”

(2|Kanye sliders.)

– I’m That Bitch. I did some cocaine and was worried I kept taking

too much in the rotation.

When I don’t work I start to slip away.

– Vaporizer or bong?

(@Vaporizer)

-I want to get rid of the interface the phone and just talk without having to dial.

(@Bong)

-I forget what else happened, great parties, lots of shrooms, saving one hit for the weekend. I went to this one meeting totally high. It was the perfect use of drugs.

* == 2 => {@ question2}

– question1

– – I hate how someone can just insert themselves into your life. Suddenly you’re thinking about them and wondering what they’re doing, wanting to chat, share things.

– question2

– – It seems like I have to fight for little scraps while everyone else gets the whole world and by everyone else I just mean white people.
