Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum: It Will End In Tears
Barbican, London, UK , Museum & Public Exhibitions, 19 September 2024 - 5 January 2025

Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum: It Will End In Tears: Barbican, London, UK

Past exhibition
  • Galerie Lelong & Co., New York, is pleased to announce a new solo exhibition by Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum, It Will End in Tears, now on view at the Barbican, London, UK through January 5, 2025. This marks the artist's first solo exhibition at a major UK institution. 

    For It Will End in Tears, Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum fills The Curve with theatrical installations, building an imagined world in which to display her paintings. Moving through a series of life-size dioramas designed in collaboration with Remco Osório Lobato and viewing paintings in a narrative sequence, a story unfurls of a ‘femme fatale’ film noir character living in an imagined colonial outpost. We find out what happens when our main character deviates from the norm and doesn’t follow the rules dictated to her by society.

    Featuring drawing, painting and installation, Sunstrum’s artworks reflect her experience of living across Africa, Southeast Asia, and North America. Her boundary-crossing practice is imbued with formative experiences of a life lived at, across, and in the liminal spaces between borders, alongside notions of home and wholeness.

    This exhibition has been commissioned by the Barbican, London with the generous support of Mr Harry G. David and Goodman Gallery.
