// Untitled: (What is freedom?) by Claire Fontaine, a screen print from 2012, presents a series of provocative questions in colorful, bold text against a black background. The questions explore themes of freedom, capitalism, and societal structures, challenging viewers to reflect on concepts like market-driven values, income inequality, and the exclusivity of art. By posing questions such as Is there any possible freedom from the market and its unreasonable rules? and Why is capitalistic libidinal economy not a form of mental illness?, Fontaine interrogates the psychological and social impact of economic systems. The use of a rainbow color scheme juxtaposed with critical content emphasizes the tension between idealism and the stark realities of contemporary life.

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.
