Claire Fontaine is a Paris-based collective artist, whose name was taken from a common brand of French stationary. By declaring herself a “ready-made artist” she treats the concept of authorship as an empty, standardized convention perpetuated by contemporary capitalism. Fontaine questions the possible revolutionary use-value of the artwork, and the subjectivization of all contemporary beings as “whatever singularities.” Her works include neon signs, sculptures, videos, light-boxes, and texts.
