Description
Visual Elements: The artwork features a large, crumpled gray sheet of paper with a repeating pattern of white markings and symbols reminiscent of tally marks or barcode-like patterns. The composition is striking and visually dynamic, with the creases and folds adding depth and texture. Subject Matter: The paper appears to be a discarded or recycled material, suggesting themes of consumption, waste, or the impermanence of objects. The repetitive patterns and symbols create a sense of order and structure, yet also allude to the dehumanizing aspects of mass production. Artistic Style and Technique: The use of found materials and the emphasis on the physical qualities of the paper, such as its creases and crumpled form, suggest a conceptual or minimalist approach. The repetitive markings and patterns evoke a sense of mechanization and automation, potentially commenting on the human experience in a technologically driven world. Context: This artwork may be exploring issues of consumerism, industrialization, or the tension between the human and the machine. The artist's intention may be to draw attention to the often overlooked or discarded objects that are a byproduct of modern society, inviting the viewer to consider their broader societal and environmental implications. ...

Sultana
ParisFounded in 2010 by Guillaume Sultana, Sultana collaborates with emerging international artists. The gallery space operates as a site for experimentation and expression, often bringing together well-established and lesser known artists through a playful, yet politically-engaged curatorial program that highlights practices concerned with questions of identity and their social ramifications. By giving space to curators and writers, in addition to artists, the gallery is committed to rethinking the traditional modes of exhibition-making and collaboration within the art world. In 2021, Sultana opened Sultana Summer Set Arles to convene artists, collectors, curators, and friends close to the gallery in a domestic and intimate space in the heart of the city.

These two spaces exemplify the spirit of Sultana: the desire to provide artists with an independent platform for expression via site-specific projects and curatorial propositions. ...
