Conditioned by Self-Branding
Clara Juliane Glauert - Guillaume Krick
17 May - 20 July 2019
ΕΝΙΑ GALLERY presents, in association with the non-profit gallery Bureau d’Art et de Recherche, Roubaix, France, on Friday, 17 May 2019 the exhibition ‘’Conditioned by Self-Branding’’, a selection of recent works of the artists Clara Juliane Glauert and Guillaume Krick, in which motifs such as media screens appear as a visual leitmotiv.
The notion of the absurd unites their work ; through the content, the materials used and their working process alike.
Guillaume Krick's work seems to evoke a sort of fake design, without any visible usefulness apart from that of a work of art. La Taberna, a round table, invites the viewer to sit down and have a good chat, but this is impossible, our view being encumbered by wooden screens blocking any direct contact.
In the series Commandments by Clara Juliane Glauert the artist recycles stereotypes that could have been taken straight out of 'career-booster' bestselling books. Her drawings, inspired by medieval book illustrations, humorously question capitalism as an official religion.
Both artists examine and criticize, but still take part in the world of high competition. The parallels between their work raise the issue of a society of self-branding where the limits between public and private life have long since been blurred. I got likes, therefore I am is far from being as liberating as Descartes' original has been.
Admission free.
