Artist conjure by Sophie Dannenmüller, PhD candidate in art history, University of Paris I then symposion art Assembly in paris March 2008

Edward Kienholz was not the only artist from Los Angeles to use the assembly as a commentary under heavy agreed policies. The side crude and popular inherent in the assembly gave birth to an idiom that works well beyond the field of fine arts.

He is one of the undisputed masters of the art of assemblage, it often creates not just objects, but tables and multi-faceted environments complete falling as much theatre as sculpture.

As a symbol of the art of this period, evokes a great religious and political controversy of the moment, the controversy that continues to divide Americans several decades later. The assembly "illegal operation 1962" also pushing hard and today that at the time, this table represents the aftermath of a bloody abortion - as were a time all abortion in the USA - and recalls the conditions unworthy, unregulated and causes of infection in which many of these acts were carried out. The legal status of most abortions made the USA has evolved through long and numerous legal battles and decisions of justices. Yet the work of Kienholz remains an indictment of practices, or rather misconduct, medical illegal and a political faction whose goals could be to reduce abortion in a state of clandestine activity.

The tables assemblages of Edward Kienholz, consisting of objects, photographs, paintings and they talk about life and death, fear of death, he worked on war, social exclusion or racial, loneliness. In his assemblages, nothing is left to chance: plastic, rags, scrap metal, rubber, wire, plaster, autos, furniture, clothing, medical instruments, tombstones… Kienholz does not, as "Junkart" as Robert Rauschenberg, these various objects for what they contain or antibeauté beauty, it incorporates these elements into a whole that is the environment, "painting" final. Nothing is transfigured, nothing is degraded.

Edward Kienholz died in 1994 at Sandport in Idaho. It was not until 1996 that the Whitney Museum in New York devotes a retrospective exhibition.

NFT and ART introduction

The principle of digital tokens is relatively recent, the idea of distinguishing fungible and non fungible property is not. We handle non-fungible goods that cannot be replaced on a daily basis. It’s about recording what makes them unique. A non fungible token (NFT) is a secure unique digital identifier stored on a public Block Chain. Such a token is not interchangeable with another and it cannot be divided. Digital artists have followed this trend by playing with technology. The spectator visitor got involved in this technology and this speculation by assigning a value to these digital objects. Setting in motion a speculation related to cryto currency.

Digital Work and NFT

My work is inspired by popular and urban culture and is based primarily on photography and a sense of composition. I find his inspiration in the diversity of images on the internet and the movement of urban life . I create transparencies, depth by overlays, and photographic prints accentuated by black with a logitiel d"AI, thus making appear optical, shadow and light games. I express a dynamic and colorful universe. By combining digital images as he wanders, I reveal stories, his stories. He reworks each piece of image, each drawing on the reality of the street, each advertising, the composers to give them a relief and a visually coherent dynamic. I hope that these digital tables and NFT speak to everyone and offer a chaotic vision in which the order is made according to our memory. We find images, colors, words, familiar memories transfigured by creation.
