Aus der Serie: “Ausstellungen, die ich leider verpasst habe” – “Change“, in der Berliner Galerie Neu. Das französische Kollektiv Claire Fontaine (aka Fulvia Carnevale, Theoretikerin; James Thornhill, Künstler), benannt nach einem Hersteller für Schulhefte, sieht sich als “Readymade Artist” – und produziert verkopft-verstörende neo-situationistische Konzeptkunst. “Other works seem to operate contextually, in some sort of ironic transvaluation of values: Situationist-like forms of pseudo post-Althusserian agitprop, often wry and witty, repositioned as commodities offered for sale as objects of delectation.” (…) “Here politics is again displaced into art, but the message is not contaminated in the same manner: it remains a naked request to awaken, to act, and perhaps a suggestion or reminder that we don’t or can’t act, that we are all bare-arsed and asleep.” (…) “At some level, then, Claire Fontaine sees herself as a Robin Hood of the contemporary art scene. A culture-jamming trickster and radicalising figure of aesthetic stealth and conscientious objection. A biopolitical activist engaged in a war of liberation against the disciplinary institutions that subjugate our bodies and control our minds. True to her self, true to her art, true to her ethics. But not true.” (*)
