Marina Faust & Jamie Sneider
For MiArt 2018, GIANNI MANHATTAN presents a duo exhibition with American artist Jamie Sneider and Austrian photographer Marina Faust. Both practices address a notion of portraiture in relation to female subjectivity.
Jamie Sneider utilises the medium of painting and sculpture. Residues of communities, house work and female labour: processes of washing, dying that are being translated into marble cast sculptures of washboards and the re-enactment of hand dying with heavy canvas and natural dyes such as squid ink, coffee and urine.
Marina Faust’s photographs are enlargements of collaged stickers of female features that are then photographed and printed on silk paper that is normally used in photographic archives. Her transfigured portraits consist of layers of signifiers that were traditionally used to refer to standardised categories such as ethnicity, gender, sexuality. Faust deconstructs these elements and reassembles them, depicting layers of a dichotomy and awareness of female subjectivity.
