About The Work
Interwoven with humour and social commentary, Threat Model Official Sticker Collection references her most recent body of work, exhibited at her first solo UK exhibition Grand Calme, at Sadie Coles HQ in 2018.
Often utilising the structures that form our post-internet communications in her work, for Grand Calme, Syms co-opted the ‘threat model system’ – a digital diagram of potential threats and vulnerabilities in a software system. Presenting it as a decal across the entirety of the gallery, Syms mutated the system from a rationalised web of diagrammatic controls into one which navigates the neuroses of the artist. Through the arrows and dialogue boxes decaled on the wall of the gallery, Syms’ internal world was generously laid bare to the viewer.
