Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a series of black metal structures arranged in a grid-like formation, with each structure resembling a locker or cabinet. The overall composition creates a sense of visual rhythm, with the repetitive elements and the contrasting red text that reads "WE MAKE THE RULES" adding a bold, confrontational tone. The artwork appears to comment on themes of authority, power, and the establishment of rules or regulations, inviting the viewer to consider the social, political, or institutional contexts that shape our daily lives. ...

Artist
Alice Könitz
B.1970, German

Alice Könitz is an artist based in Los Angeles, and is known for her conceptual sculptures and installations. Modernism had a significant impact on Alice Könitz's artistic practice, her low-tech approach to sculpture and installation has an implicit resistance to finality, as well as implicating the wider social and architectural landscape of Los Angeles. Her sculptures are compelling, bear humor and willingness to take risks. Könitz’s artwork, the LAMOA (2012), is a flexible and adaptable platform for art exhibitions, utilizing a small structure that she constructed next to her studio. This architectural structure changes form between exhibitions and consists of interlocking units that can be arranged to form different displays. Various artists are invited to present their work within the structure. Könitz’s interrogation of modes of display and forms of instituting are extended in her work Domestic Pavilion (2019), an expandable structure that hosts research and displays of edible plants and handmade tools. Her recent work is notable in its interest in self-sustainability and resistance to market-driven aesthetics. ...
