Thank you for introducing me to Janine Antoni’s work. I’m astonished at how much I can feel and sense each piece just through the phone screen. The busts especially have me thinking about times when my hair has been styled professionally, curled, blown-out, braided; no matter how well it’s done I always have an immediate desire to fuck it up a bit so that my hair feels like mine again.
Oh I love this idea of messing up your hair a bit to feel like yourself !! I’m always so moved by how Janine Antoni’s work can be so highly conceptual and yet also so groundedly physical. I love how with the gnawed works, she then converted the excess chocolate and lard into chocolate boxes and lipstick, displayed in cases near the original blocks. Highly recommend the Art21 video for even more examples of her work !!
