GUCHI :: Johanna Keefe

Cunsthaus

May 18 2019

These art works are about the structure of object acquisition from the 17th century to present day. From their design, in the materials and their creation, through production, and within delivery methods, the European implementation of brutality and hard power has been coded into art and decorative vessels as an imagery of success and wealth. GUCHI is a brand created by the artist to better investigate the visual language and impact of this brutality through an investigation of utilitarian objecthood, image making, and desire.
