John Bock: Hell’s Bells. A Western / Sadie Coles HQ, London

German artist John Bock’s fourth exhibition at Sadie Coles HQ in London centers on a new film, Hell’s Bells. The feature-length work transforms the genre of the Western into a melodramatic story populated by allegorical characters. Hell’s Bells stars leading German actors including Lars Eidinger, Bibiana Beglau, Frank Seppeler and Laurenz Leky. In addition to the film, the exhibition Hell’s Bells: A Western presents an extensive group of sculptures and collages relating to characters and episodes in the film.
