Claire Fontaine
Claire Fontaine (France, 2004) is a collective feminist conceptual artist founded by Fulvia Carnevale and James Thornhill. Adopting the name of a popular French stationery brand, they declare themselves a 'readymade artist,' critiquing authorship and authority through appropriation and expropriation. Their works, including neon signs and installations, address political and social issues, such as the 'Foreigners Everywhere' series exhibited at the 2024 Venice Biennale.

What is conceptual art?
Sometimes referred to as Conceptualism, this is an art form where the idea(s) or concept(s) behind the work take precedence over material concerns and traditional aesthetics. Many conceptual artworks can be created by anyone simply by following written instructions. The concept or idea is the most essential aspect of the artwork.
