Claire Fontaine

Claire Fontaine is a collective of feminist conceptual artists founded by Fulvia Carnevale and James Thornhill in Paris in 2004. Since 2017 she lives and works in Palermo. Her name is inspired by Duchamp’s iconic ready-made, the urinal entitled , and a famous brand of French notebooks (Clairefontaine); it defines a space where the biographies of the artist are not directly connected to their artworks, allowing their research to become a space of freedom and desubjectivization.
