last chance: through October 29th 2011
Andreas Slominski‟s latest show at Sadie Coles HQ centres on a new series of sculptures of flowers. The show‟s truncated or „broken‟ title, Europ, alludes obliquely to the financial cuts and the economic and social unrest around Europe, for which the plucked, fragmentary flowers serve as metaphors. Wrought from metal, the sculptures also replicate the stylised, planar latticework of garden ornaments, evoking miniature windmills or weathervanes. Diverging and intersecting struts support floral clusters of circles which variously recall fractals, molecular diagrams or magnified snowflakes – as the curator Massimiliano Gioni has written of Slominksi‟s work, “The basic principle of his art seems to be an inversion of any minimalist credo. There is no „Less is More‟ in Slominski‟s universe.”
