(In)visible Hand - Works by Joseph Coniff and Marina Kassianidou
Curated by Kealey Boyd
GEORGIA, Denver, Colorado, USA, June 6-9, 2019
The art of Joseph Coniff and Marina Kassianidou deceives and challenges the eye through the surfaces of domestic consumption. Their material interventions are subtle like the patterns of our lives and the economic systems that dictate them. Coniff’s removal (or restorative) acts with found wallpaper suggest the changing ownership of space or its reinvention. Kassianidou interrogates our preferences, especially when mass-produced materials lend the illusion of well-crafted ones or when a pattern mimics nature. Despite appearances, even on a cellular level, the materials are hierarchical.
