Low-Residency MFA Lecture with Claire Fontaine
July 02, 2018
CLAIRE FONTAINE
Claire Fontaine is a Paris-based collective artist, founded in 2004.
After lifting her name from a popular brand of school notebooks, Claire Fontaine declared herself a "readymade artist" and began to elaborate a version of neo-conceptual art that often looks like other people's work. She grows up among the ruins of the notion of authorship, experimenting with collective protocols of production, détournements, and the production of various devices for the sharing of intellectual and private property.
