| | Description: | A common thread in Parreno's work is
an exploration of the creation of
valorisation and meaning within cultural
and economic structures. When Parreno
and Pierre Huyghe bought the copyright
to a Japanese Manga character (Ann
Lee) and set about giving this 'shell' a
personal history, the project was to end
with the copyright being transferred to
Ann Lee herself. This provided a neat
fictional closure to a real commercial
transaction, and a commentary on the
eventual ownership of the means of
production by the proletariat.
Parreno samples and juxtaposes
material from a huge variety of sources
to show the interplay of the real, the
symbolic and the imaginary. His concern
with communications media shows his
need to develop new narrative
possibilities, to rethink modes of
production, exhibition and authorship,
and especially to interrogate
classic 'artworld' forms.
Within a broad interest in interpersonal
exchange and collective subjectivity,
Parreno places particular importance on
an 'aesthetic of alliances' - his
collaborations with friends. The fact that
an oeuvre attributed to 'Philippe Parreno'
has nevertheless emerged is just one of
the contradictions with which we are
faced in the work.
