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 appropriation?
Appropriation in art involves using pre-existing images or objects with little or no modification. This technique has played a significant role across various art forms, including visual arts, music, performance, and literature. In visual arts, appropriation refers to the practice of adopting, sampling, recycling, or borrowing elements—or even entire forms—of existing visual culture, integrating them into new works to create meaning or critique.
