Between Concept and Skill
Entre concept et compétence
Résumé
In 1981, Ian Burn posited that conceptual art was responsible for a loss of manual skills among artists. By putting the emphasis on conception, artists have deprived themselves of the specific knowledge that was previously at their disposal when they painted and sculpted. In this landscape of deskilling, Zoë Sheehan Saldaña chose to take a paradoxical position. Since the early 2000s, she has been exploring industrial modes of production by reproducing consumer goods by hand or by craft. Her practice gives rise to a history of the organisation of work and capitalism in which Ileana Parvu sees the possibility of slowing down.
