About this work

This work is a digital drawing with two tall, thin columns. The left column shows a cropped Franz Marc painting. The right column has a blurred portrait of a 19th-century thinker. Created for a gambling-style app, the images roll like slot machine reels. When they stop, you get random pairings. The artist turns chance into a quiet joke about art and ideas. This reminds me of Hannah Höfe’s playful prints. Look up Poulantza, Natassa (1965) next.
