2-TIMES • Art
Chloe Wise,
‘Of false
beaches and
butter money’
@ Almine
Rech Gallery
—
Signaling the link
between self-
presentation and
forms of betterment,
Chloe Wise discloses
relationships between
image creation and
authenticity, probing
the performative means
we use to adjust to
the commercialization
of all aspects of
contemporary life.
“Here, food becomes
the nexus for unexpected
associations—a cypher
for the artist to map
protean relations between
self-care, consumption,
gender negotiations,
and alternative routes
to pleasures.”
The exhibition:
For her first solo with
Almine Rech Gallery in
Paris, Wise lyrically
explores the dissonance
between visual cultures
and the systems,
products, and persons
they aim to represent.
