Helen Marten: Sparrows On the Stone

Sadie Coles presents Helen Marten’s solo show “Sparrows On the Stone”. The exhibition maps freestanding walls into the configuration of a body, extending the singularity of one body-form at gigantic scale across the full spread of the gallery.

Using the ancient philosophical metaphor of “the body politic”, the exhibition morphs the allegory of a single individual body into a raging grammatical city, a contemporary projection of systems, agency and the digestion of ideas.
