Gesture, recoding language, and misinterpretation<\/strong><\/p>\n

She works from an apartment in Sonnenallee, but it would be more apt to consider the fibre-optic fabric of the internet as Juliette Bonneviot\u2019s studio \u2013 or at least the places where her ideas congregate and converge. Drifts through the plethora of images, information and exchange on offer mirror her own research process. Instead of using the internet as the site of the work, she embodies a hyperlink mentality, taking on the role of a search engine and gathering information together and re-representing it. Hers is a world built on acknowledging the mainstream interpretations of objects, and pushing them toward a networked dispersal of meaning. The language that she invokes is one of layered misinterpretation.<\/p>\n

As a Paris-born artist living in Berlin, there are plenty of opportunities for that, a notion she focused on in her recent solo exhibition \u201cShanghai Gesture\u201d at London\u2019s Wilkinson Gallery. Akin to an exploded drawing of ideas and moments that each operate individually, yet also as parts of a whole, she began with the film \u201cRush Hour\u201d and expanded outward, even appropriating the design scheme for the reimagined exhibition flyer. Adopting the attitude of a young Asian artist, she asked herself, \u201cif I were young and Chinese what would I be making?\u201d and took it from there. Her assembled cluster of extracted gestures included a piece of silk dipped in squid ink (both ancient and highly commercialised materials of the \u201corient\u201d) blowing softly in the breeze naturally present in the gallery itself, and attached to a Structube-like display stand (a modernist affectation Bonneviot frequently returns to). On the stand also hung headphones on which muzak played, sourced by Bonneviot from internet libraries of taxonomic definitions of \u201cAsian music\u201d.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Her process of expansion in order to expose and decode runs as a thread throughout, as does her desire and willingness to make things by hand. Painting and making materials herself is an important part of her practice, as she remarks: \u201cthe guys \u2013 they order things, being a bit like a \u2018boss\u2019 in a company. I\u2019m a little bit like a housewife painting all day and checking Facebook. People think I pick things randomly but actually I\u2019m quite careful. I think I\u2019m an object too,\u201d she continues, \u201cand if people are interested in certain objects then I want to scrutinise that object from the perspective of an object.\u201d<\/p>\n

It is the variety of mistranslations, misinterpretations and the conscious relinquishing of controlled meaning that drives Bonneviot. Everything is up for grabs and subject to de- and reconstruction, as she suggests: \u201cby picking and remaking a piece I recode it. I set it free for someone to take it if they want\u2026 if people copy me I can\u2019t complain. It\u2019s part of the game.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

In her eyes, Russian clubbers (\u201cpumping dancers\u201d) wearing sportswear and making hand gestures as a social code are also fair game: she immortalises them in sculpture and prints, combining the actions with constructivist, Rodchenko-style compositions. Meanwhile, Chinese calligraphy is copied by the hand of the artist and transformed into a new script for misinterpretations.\u00a0<\/p>\n
