Exhibition
P.I.G.S.
June 25–July 18
Museo de Arte Contemporaneo de Castilla y Leon, Avenida de los Reyes Leoneses, 24, Leon, Spain
P.I.G.S. is the first solo exhibition in Spain by Paris-based artist Claire Fontaine, whose work revolves around the exploration of the political, economic and social context and on how it influences contemporary society. In a world mediated by the rationale of the market and consumerism, Claire Fontaine co-opts art practices as a method for collective activity, a way of reflecting on how such notions predicate the construction of our lives as individuals and as citizens.
The Claire Fontaine exhibition at the MUSAC is the opening installment in the new Sala 1 project, a space set aside for the presentation of site-specific projects made by artists with well established trajectories but who have not yet garnered much visibility in Spain.
