Wilhelm Sasnal

Because we believe that two heads are better than one, the new joint effort between Equator Production and Henzel Studio – both respected manufacturers of artist-designed carpets – is especially worth celebrating.

A painter such as Wilhelm Sasnal suits our current age of political uncertainty. Sasnal is a political artist, though not a simple, didactic one.

Following on the success of the first public sale of works from the Artist Pension Trust® (APT) Collection at Sotheby’s New York earlier this month, further artworks from the collection will be offered at Sotheby’s London Contemporary Curated sale on April 12, 2017. These include a strong selection of works by beloved British artists like Ryan Gander, Liam Gillick, and Bob & Roberta Smith, as well as other international artists, at a wide range of price points, with low estimates from $1,200 (1,000 GBP) to high estimates of up to $35,000 (30,000 GBP).

In this heated political climate, art for art’s sake feels ever more like an indefensible position—maybe a guilty pleasure. Even within the relative privilege of the art establishment, activist ideals are increasingly surfacing, while political statements made by artists have become de rigeur. The perennial question faced by such artist-activists is whether or not the activities performed in the rarefied world of the art exhibition and symposium can truly make an impact in the so-called “real world.” To investigate this question, we take a look at recent activist actions by international artists and current exhibitions that aim to effect material change in the world.

The 31st Bienal de São Paulo "Things that don’t exist” is a poetic invocation of art’s ability to create new objects, thoughts and possibilities. The sentence has a variable formula that constantly changes, anticipating the actions that might make present in contemporary life the things that don’t exist, are not recognized, or have not yet been invented. With 81 projects and more than 100 participants from 34 countries, totaling around 250 artworks on display, the exhibition has been conceived as journey through the Pavilion divided into three different areas: park area, ramp area and columns area.
