Maria Grazia Chiuri Instagram – @foreignerseverywhere is a ready-made, feminist and conceptual artist, founded in Paris in 2004 by Fulvia Carnevale and James Thornhill. Claire Fontaine was born as a shared space that was named after a female person of French nationality in order to investigate the current condition and the moral and economic crises affecting the planet. Claire Fontaine has proclaimed herself a ready-made artist and has started to develop a version of neo- conceptual art often resembling other people’s work. She generally works with appropriation on a formal level and diverts contents, using sculpture, installations, videos and painting to create an emotionally charged critique of authors and forms of authority in this phase of capitalism.
Claire Fontaine is a queer entity, an unpredicted subject that modernises the concepts of the feminist philosopher Carla Lonzi.
In occasion of Dior’s Fall Winter 2024 show that will be presented at the @BrooklynMuseum, Claire Fontaine renewed her collaboration with @Dior by creating a special installation where the show will take place. The installation will pay tribute to the artist Suzanne Santoro and the generation of women who fought and continue to fight for women’s rights.
