JUSTIN NOVAK
Disturbing and fascinating at the same time… Justin Novak‘s disfigurines…
Quoting from Justine’s statement:
“…Whereas the figurine has historically represented the dominant culture’s norms and ideals, the disfigurines aim to expose the damage inflicted by those very same expectations.The fine line that exists between the “tasteful†and the “grotesque†is precisely the course that I strive to navigate. It is in the haunting tension between the two that seduction and repulsion inhabit the same space, where the very function of “taste†is perhaps suspended, and the politics of these gleaming white aesthetics are laid bare.”Â
