Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This artwork is a series of five black plaques displayed on a minimalist white background. The plaques feature bold white text against the dark background, creating a stark visual contrast. The composition is simple and uniform, with the plaques arranged in a horizontal line. The subject matter of the plaques is commemorative, referencing various memorials and monuments, including a "Culture War Memorial," a "Tomb of the Unknown Refugee," and a "Monument Honoring Extinct Plants and Animals." The text on the plaques suggests a commentary on social and environmental issues. The artistic style is minimalist and conceptual, with the plaques serving as a medium to convey a message rather than showcasing technical virtuosity. The use of stark black and white, along with the consistent format, lends the work a sense of gravity and solemnity. This artwork appears to be a commentary on contemporary societal and ecological concerns, using the language of memorials and monuments to draw attention to the impact of human actions and the need for further reflection and action. ...

B.1966, British

Jeremy Deller is a conceptual artist who works across many mediums including sound, film, performance, print and sculpture. Described by critic Mark Brown as a “pied piper of popular culture”, his projects often draw on pivotal moments of social history or shed light on particular subcultures, such as the 90s rave scene, brass bands or folk art. Often working collaboratively with other filmmakers, musicians or artists, the works have a political investigative tone to them. With his collaborators, Deller unpacks the cultural imprint specific eras or historic events leave behind, using this immaterial social matter as the accumulative force for each body of work. His 2001 performance The Battle of Orgreave brought together nearly 1000 performers who re-enacted the bloody clash between miners and police in 1984, unearthing tensions within Britain’s immediate social history. Deller met Andy Warhol as a student in New York in the 80s and spent two weeks at The Factory. He cites Warhol as an inspiration to him, mirroring Warhol’s hunger for popular culture and the political undertones that run throughout it. Deller won the Turner prize in 2004 and represented Britain at the Venice Biennale in 2013. ...

To avoid any narcissism the gallery will not bear a name, but instead mark of the end of a century during which the Fine Arts are exhausted of unknown practices and forms, Art: Concept was born. In 1997, the gallery joined its friends in the 13th district of Paris to be part of the adventure of the brand new rue Louise Weiss. Despite unforgettable years in this district, the move to the Marais was inevitable. Today, the gallery is located in a private passage (passage Sainte Avoye) and represents artists with whom it has been working for 25 years as well as young graduates. Trying to reflect the evolution of society, the gallery emphasises its proposals in a multi-faceted reflection on individuality and collectivity in a wide range of contexts. Like Janus, it looks both to the past and the future. Today's world is so in need of reference points that it's reassuring to invent a future, thanks to artists, as well as to compare it to the past. We invite you to ask for it, we will be at the gallery, very happy to explain it to you. ...
