HANNAH SAWTELL
Sawtell’s multi-disciplinary work is concerned with the consumption of images and objects in a globally connected society, and aims to provoke debate around the technology of access, labour, capital and surplus, desire and excess. Describing her method as investigating ‘the screen as a lens’, and using the Internet to research and shape her approach, Sawtell’s work exploits the processes and materials accessible in the current culture of connectivity. Hannah Sawtell lives and works in London. In 2013 she was shortlisted for the Jarman Award and her work has had solo exhibitions at institutions including, The New Museum, New York (2014), Kunsthall Bergen (2014), ICA, London (2012) Bloomberg SPACE, London (2012), Vilma Gold, London (2013), Serpentine Gallery Offsite Programme, London (2010). Sawtell’s work also featured in the artist’s film and video programme at Tate Britain, London (2013).
