A few days ago JULIETTE BONNEVIOT opened her second solo show entitled Minimal Jeune Fille at Wilkinson Gallery in London where she presents etched sheer plastic body forms and odd sculptures embedded with washing up items and scrubbers.

Artist JULIETTE BONNEVIOT  created the character ‘Jeune Fille Minimale’, as a protagonist to inspire a new body of sculpture and video, exploring what writer TIMOTHY MORTON describes as a ‘dark ecology’, akin to a noir film, in his book ‘The Ecological Thought‘. Yet unlike MOORE‘s character, BONNEVIOT‘s Jeune Fille is not afraid of what the world will do to her, but instead, develops a neurosis about what her conspicuous consumption and lifestyle will do to the world.- KATHY NOBLE

JULIETTE BONNEVIOT (born 1983, France) lives and works in Berlin, Germany. Recent solo exhibitions include CEO, Malmö (2012); Wilkinson Gallery, London (2014); and Circus, Berlin (2011). She was also part of the 12th Biennale de Lyon.

 

➝ Minimal Jeune Fille is currently on view at Wilkinson Gallery in London and is on view until February 23, 2014.
