Sam Durant -
History Never Ends, I Hate to Bother You

Sam Durant’s second show with Sadie Coles HQ, ‘History never ends, I hate to bother you’, mounts a multifaceted exploration of contemporary geopolitics. Combining new sculpture with a series of maps emblazoned with quotations, the show draws its title from a recent polemical essay by Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano. In line with the political activism of his earlier projects, Durant here reaffirms Galeano’s critique of the long history of European and North American colonialism and exploitation.
