Prolonged Étude
2022

Breaking away from the captivation with research, Prolonged Étude is a self-study on the shift towards artistic research, an exploration on what a physical art object could bring up, and an investigation into a form that can display this unnecessary dichotomy between the two. It is a last push of multiple research-less objects derived from nothing and everything; an exercise far from the questions of why, how and for whom, a showcase of a possible living of an étude.

“Today artists need theory to explain what they are doing – not to others, but to themselves.” Boris Groys

The work was produced for “Remember when this used to be fun?” exhibition.
