Claire Fontaine, ARBEIT MACHT KAPITAL, 2012.

Claire Fontaine’s exhibition “M – A – C – C – H – I – N – A – Z – I – O – N – I” opended Museion’s 2012 exhibition season on February 3. The Bolzano show presents a selection of previous works and new creations: videos, neon signs, installations and the collective’s “machinery-sculptures”, that refer to the closed, irrational nature of the capitalist economy, intent on preserving its status quo at any price. The title of the exhibition (which translates as ‘Machinations’) references the machine metaphor that underpins capitalism, with its relentless production/consumption cycle. The Claire Fontaine collective, founded in Paris in 2004, takes its name from a well-known French brand of stationery. The works of this self-styled “ready-made artist”, underpinned by theoretical research, often resemble those of other artists. Challenging the very notion of the artist figure, the collective views itself as a “whatever singularity”, the subjective equivalent of a urinal or a box of Brillo pads, and therefore equally interchangeable. The exhibition is curated by Letizia Ragaglia - at Museion, Bolzano.
