Claire Fontaine

Claire Fontaine is a collective artist created in 2004. After having been inspired by a well-known brand of French school notebooks to choose her name, Claire Fontaine self-declared herself as a “ready-made artist” and started to elaborate a version of neo-conceptual art that is sometimes reminiscent of the works of other artists. Working with neon, video, sculpture, painting and text, her practice can be described as an ongoing interrogation of the political impotence and crisis of singularity that define contemporary society.
