Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

The artwork features a bold and striking composition, with the text "FUCK THE CLOCK" prominently displayed in white against a vibrant pink background. The use of blocky, uppercase lettering and the directive nature of the text evoke a sense of defiance and rejection of conformity. The overall style and technique appear to be influenced by pop art and graffiti aesthetics, with the simplicity and immediacy of the message conveying a rebellious and provocative statement. The context suggests the artwork may be a commentary on the constraints of time and the societal pressures to conform to a standardized work schedule, encouraging the viewer to break free from such limitations. ...

P. Staff makes film installations, performance art, and new media works Writer and filmmaker Juliet Jacques describes Staff's site-specific exhibition at the Serpentine Galleries, “On Venus,” as the following: “Staff’s site-specific exhibition at the Serpentine Sackler Gallery, ‘On Venus’, deals with biopolitics, looking at the ways in which exchanges between bodies, ecosystems and institutions affect human consciousness and behaviours – especially for queer, trans and non-binary people. A new video work also entitled On Venus, features two sections: the first presents warped archival footage of industrial farming for the production of meat, fur and hormones; the second features a poem about life on the uninhabitable planet Venus, conjuring a state of near-death that has parallels with trying to survive as a queer person in a heteronormative world. The surrounding installation impinges on the gallery itself, confronting entrants with a gargoyle weathered by acidic rain, a symbol of the worsening climate crisis, harshly lit against a reflective floor. The defamiliarizing effect of Staff's intervention rubs up against the history of the building, which was originally used as a gunpowder store. Pipes suspended from the ceiling leak acid into steel barrels, at once evoking chemical corrosion, the sharing of bodily fluids, and the uncontrollable, networked spread of viruses and data.” (Wikipedia) ...
