Leftovers

In March 2016 Sullivan+Strumpf will present Sanné Mestrom’s debut solo  exhibition with the gallery, Leftovers. Mestrom creates art-about-art. Her practice is  reflective and addresses value, process, art history, appropriation, authorship and authenticity. The works in Leftovers are gestures - odes - to fellow artists which Mestrom has  admired from a distance and whom have shaped her practice and thinking in profound ways.

She reached out to a myriad of artists - cap in hand - to ask if they might be able to offer her some of their studio-floor scraps to undertake this new body of works called “Leftovers”. Each  rejected remnant is imbued with new value simply by being selected - picked up  off the floor and handed over as ‘something’. They became great again - full of  potential.
