Claire Fontaine is a collective artist based in Paris. After lifting her name from a popular brand of school notebooks, Claire Fontaine declared herself a “readymade artist” and began to elaborate a version of neo-conceptual art that often looks like other people’s work. Her practice can be described as an ongoing interrogation of the political impotence and the crisis of singularity that seems to define contemporary society. Her works have been shown internationally in major institutions across Europe, North America, and Asia, and she has published with Mute, one star press, Dilecta, e-flux journal, Derive Approdi, and il Mulino.
