SoiL Thornton at Kunstverein Bielefeld “Thornton’s practice engages with the underlying conditions for the exhibition, presentation and representation of artistic production. Who represents what? Which roles are assigned to any particular artist? What are the underlying processes of economic exploitation? How are identity, individuality, and biography used to shape artists into brands? And what is it that constitutes value? SoiL Thornton’s artistic work questions precisely these processes, the ways by which a society constitutes agreed norms and sets up established power relations. Their approach is often about measuring the tension between an idea and its material implementation.” #soilthornton #kunstvereinbielefeld #art #artist #paint #painting #contemporary #contemporaryart #gallery #artgallery #emergent #emergentmagazine
