Élégance

With Merlin Carpenter, Chris Evans, Thea Djordjadze, Gerda Scheepers, Rosemarie Trockel and Julika Rudelius

The exhibition Élégance deals with the dominance of the art market in the field of contemporary art and the art project as a product of consumption. A situation which is also mirrored in the constraint to glamour and the participation in gossip - a survival strategy for cultural producers, who often work under precarious conditions depending on the big capital. This development, which might represent a phase of temporary decadence within the art-business, seems anyhow to reflect a development concerning the whole society forwarded through globalisation.

The video-installation Automne⁄ Frottée (2006⁄07) by Thea Djordjadze, Gerda Scheepers and Rosemarie Trockel is based on a documentary on “Swankers”, South-African mine-workers, who divide their poor income between the families in their home-villages and the rent for their shabby dwellings. But they save their last cents for expensive suits from fashion-designers such as Prada or Versace. In nightly meetings they present the special features of these suits in dance-like performances: such as cufflinks, inside pockets, the quality of the fabric. The street-public elects the winner among the performers. This documentary on “Swankers” is as well included in the installation of Djordjadze, Scheepers and Trockel as a second film and further objects such like a sculpture resembling a coffin and a car, giving space for free association and showing the closeness to death and decline.
