Claire Fontaine @ Carl Kostyal, London

The winter of discontent is the title of Claire Fontaine’s exhibition composed from a recollection of memories and impressions of the first encounter of the British public with minimalism.
The satiric comments on Andre’s Equivalent and on contemporary art in general, collected from comics and newspaper articles of the time reflect the angry or perplexed reaction of the public when confronted to the muteness of the object and the discrete intervention of the author that characterize the politics of a large part of contemporary art.
