Ian Anüll

The works presented at Fri-Art speak about the destabilization of codes, while arranging the objects in order to produce poetic effects until now unsuspected.

In the first piece, Ian Anüll presents a work close to contemporary life: collapse of a political power, in USSR and GDR. In USSR, the liberilisation of the market allowed the expansion of a trade of image-memories out of the borders, while the recession in the country becomes  worse.

The second work sticks to the spirit of the copy and its incidences in the artistic field. Another very current question, because it worries a great number of artists and critics.

Each event, physical or intellectual, leaves prints in reality. The work of Ian Anüll seizes the springs of them, then uses them as revealing signs of the efficient causes. Indisociable from political, social or economic contexts, his anarchistic work diverts the contexts, the actions and the common significances to the profit of a greater freedom: Ian Anüll denounces the rules which encumber the existence. Money (red dollars), values (Art in Safe), socio-economic effects in art (Produkt), political powers (falls of a power), rational heavinesses (UFO) and spiritual dogmas (INRI) lose their legitimacy: The artist plays with all that.

“Art is not virtuous”, says Ian Anüll, who attaches himself to the state of a society of which he is undoubtedly a revealing clue.

Ian Anüll is an artist with a wandering spirit. He has always withdrawn himself from the established order, bureaucratic or artistic. He lives without a fixed residence.
