Mark Jenkins and Rero | Rules of Engagement | WK Milan, by wunderkammern on Sept 23, 2017 17:53:47 GMT 1, 

Hello everybody!



We are waiting for you at Wunderkammern Milan for “Rules of Engagement” by artists Mark Jenkins (USA) and Rero (France).

Mark Jenkins and Rero are back to Wunderkammern and they present the evolution of their artistic research in relation to the concept: Rules of Engagement. The rules of engagement are regulations or directives specifying the circumstances, conditions and limitations under which forces can engage in combat with the enemy. Simultaneously, engagement is also the formal agreement to get married. It is a word that brings together the extremes of emotions, hate and love. Building on these concepts, the artists explore the mechanisms of the formalisation of emotions in our contemporary culture.


Wunderkammern Gallery, via Ausonio 1A, Milan.

Quick artists info:




Mark Jenkins (USA, 1970) is famous for his hyperrealistic sculptures of persons, animals and objects placed in the urban space. The sculptures take on positions or create situations which are emblematic and surreal, pushing the passers-by to become real actors. Beyond all the reactions triggered by the installations, such as fear, indifference, confusion or amusement, Mark Jenkins’ art offers an unusual occasion of reflection on social and political themes, as well as on ourselves and our behaviour within society. The artist has collaborated with Greenpeace in 2008 and has participated to important events such as the Nuit Blanche of Paris and the Glastonbury Festival, both in 2014.


Rero’s (France, 1983) artwork is placed in between urban art and conceptual art, and it is based on language. Influenced by sociology and philosophy, the artist reveals his message through sentences or words which are crossed by a thick black line. The line indeed defines Rero’s research on the negation of the image and on self-censorship; it acts as a contradiction and it multiplies the possible interpretations of the message by the observer. Rero has exhibited in important galleries and institutions, among which the Vasarely Foundation (Aix-en-Provence, 2014), the Centre Pompidou (Paris, 2013), the Grand Palais (Paris, 2013) and the La Poste's Museum (Paris, 2012).


Cheers!
