MINNEAPOLIS, MN — Martine Syms is presented in Walker Art Center's Collection in Focus series, on view through May 23, 2027
Syms’ The Borrowed Lady (2016) examines how decontextualized gestures circulate online. Against an all-purple backdrop, four video monitors stand in a circle, facing inward. The artist Diamond Stingily appears in patterned blips across each screen—snapping, calling out, shifting her body. Evoking the public sphere of the internet, the installation replicates the web’s dense network of posts, reposts, and clapbacks.
The Borrowed Lady emerged from a moment when social media was rapidly transforming the way that culture spread. In the piece, Stingily performs a series of gestures drawn in part from GIFs and memes of Black women’s expressions. A decade after its creation, the work remains both a portrait of an earlier media moment and a reflection of the continued hypervisibility of Blackness in visual culture.
This presentation is part of the Walker’s Collection in Focus series, spotlighting major works in the museum’s collection.

We’re thrilled to share RW-LO (2026), a new work by Martine Syms.
Martine Syms blends reenactment with home movies from the life of Brent David Freaney, a lifelong pop girlie who was once, as vintage camcorder footage reveals, a Deep South teenager obsessed with outspoken The Real World: New Orleans castmate Melissa Howard. RW-LO is a nostalgic—and surprising—inquiry into what happens when people start being celebrities, and they stop being real.
RW-LO will premiere at @thenyff on 27 & 29 September, followed by @britishfilminstitute on 18 October. The work will be on view in Syms’ exhibition Knot Eye at Sadie Coles HQ, Kingly Street, opening 17 September.
Martine Syms (b. 1988, Los Angeles) has earned wide recognition for a practice that combines conceptual grit, humour, and social commentary. She works across film, video, theater, programming, photography, drawing, sculpture, performance, installation, and publishing. An upcoming solo exhibition will open at MOCA, Los Angeles in 2027.

Martine Syms is a multidisciplinary artist working across film, video, photography, and publishing.
Born and raised in California, she studied at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and gained an MFA from Bard College. From 2007 to 2012, she co-directed Golden Age, an artist-run space in Chicago, and had her first solo exhibition at Bridget Donaghue gallery in New York in 2015. She has exhibited at international art institutions including the ICA, MoMA, Sadie Coles HQ, and the Walker Art Museum.
Syms has published several books including PICTURES 2014-2024 and SHE MAD, and has her own publishing imprint, Dominica Publishing, which publishes artist books and zines.
Syms practice combines conceptual grit, humour and social commentary. Her videos and installations are highly technical, reflecting her acute attention to detail in cinematography, sound and editing. Syms uses filmmaking as a means of storytelling to uncover personal and societal truths and employs sound to foster dialogue and form/perform identities. In 2023, she made her feature directorial debut with The African Desperate, and is premiering her new film RW-LO in a solo show at Sadie Coles HQ in September 2026.
In this episode of Fashion Neurosis, Bella Freud and Martine Syms discuss matching your nails to your underwear, Taurean energy, and Original Sin.
Launching tomorrow, 16th September.
