Martine Syms combines conceptual grit, comedy, and social commentary to respond to her immediate reality, outside of traditional methods of documenting life experiences. Animated by the “problems of truth” her practice questions image and language systems and their relationship to power. She is internationally known for a nuanced practice that spans across writing, performance, moving image, and installation.
Syms created four new works for the new collaboration between Bronzeville Center for the Arts and Sculpture Milwaukee. This presentation—Find A Way, A Short Meditation, Belief Strategy XIII, and an untitled photograph—includes photography, mantra, and visual patterns, offering a meditative prompt for viewers moving through the day-to-day.
