Driven
Gallerie Camille, Detroit, Michigan, USA
Playing with a two-pronged approach to both the beauty industry and DIY craftivism, these artists illustrate how aspects of feminine creativity have developed within these parameters. The dialogue between photographer spindler, and 2 installation artists terzieva and trouton creates a new vision about the consumerism of cosmetics and crafts, alongside historic ideas of beauty, ‘the domestic’, body adornment (namely artificial fingernail painting), women’s work, craft, the miniature and female empowerment and/or femininity. The result is that this art exhibition shows how individualism and the creative culture (stemming from their training in american abstract modernism and international post-colonialism) outsmarts a seemingly homogeneous, all-powerful consumerism of the 2016+ cosmetic industry, alongside the rise of the new billion-dollar craft consumerism.
