Title: Peep Hole Sheet #13, Summer 2012 : Claire Fontaine - Imperceptible Abstractions
Description: Milan, Italy, Mousse Publishing. 2012, Limited. No Binding. Book, New. 24 x 32,5 cm; 110 g. Edition : 350 copies. New. 'Conceived in 2004 as a "readymade artist,"� the Paris-based collective Claire Fontaine presents itself as a fictional artist in an ongoing conceptual project critiquing the art market. Appropriating the name of a popular brand of French notebooks, the group's members use this construct to approach the notion of artistic identity itself as being the equivalent of Warhol's Brillo Box or Duchamp's Fountain—a preexisting object that can be transformed by recasting it in a new context. Work created by Claire Fontaine often intentionally recalls that of other artists, exploring common contemporary tropes with the goal of "interrogat[ing] the political impotence and the crisis of singularity that seem to define contemporary art today,"� according to an artist statement.'
