NADA New York 2023

Berlin-based, Swiss artist Julian-Jakob Kneer explores the self-mythologizing role of the artist, the obsessive construction of persona as well as the definition and the destruction of the self. His works deal with the aesthetics of neurotic narcissism and the abysses of fame and celebrity culture.

Anne de Vries is showing his self-invented heraldic knight figures in armor. By integrating elements of popular culture, subcultures and self-invented characters, the artist forms an eclectic labyrinth of interrelated narratives.
