The exhibition Best, Isabelle by Isabelle Wenzel inaugurates the programme of cultural initiatives curated by C41 in the regenerated spaces of BiM (where Bicocca meets Milan). On the 7th of June 2023 from 6 PM, it will be possible to enter the spaces and come into contact with the artistic research that has taken place within them.
Best, Isabelle, set up on the first floor of the building in the C41 Gallery spaces, investigates the working dimension through a series of photographic, staging and performance devices. “What does an ergonomic chair tell us about our bodies and the time they inhabit?” Starting from this universal object and its context of use, the research developed by Isabelle Wenzel moves towards a clear somatic, social and aesthetic declination of the contemporary worker. With elegant irony, the artist proposes a visual reflection on the capitalisation of the productive body and the consequent coercion into unnatural postures and attitudes—explicit in the subversive, exhausted and improbable poses she immortalises. Inviting us to adopt a new, critical point of view, she wishes us the best.
