CHRISTINE HILL – ATTENTION ECONOMY
2019-03-11The identity of today’s artists has developed over the past century into a highly condensed tautology – artists are in who makes art. At Hill’s hand, the artist’s hand transforms any suitable subject or material into a work worthy of creative contemplation.
Attention Economy reveals a turn inwards in Hills practice. During the 26-day exhibition, Hill presents two unpublished drawings in DIN A4 format each day. In doing so, the artist focuses on a selection of contemporary reflections and ideas, which she presents in turn on a specially made podium, allowing careful study. In Hill’s typical drawing style, the drawings, which are reminiscent of loose notebook pages, deal with honors – literature, cultural heritage, politics, memory – as well as profane themes – radio commentaries, interpersonal negotiations, housework, Netflix oversupply.
