FRUIT ANXIETY, DESIRE AND METHOD
Exhibition and performances

Office for Joint Administrative Intelligence (Chris Dreier and Gary Farrelly) with interventions by Julia Zinnbauer, Robin Faymonville and Marjolein Guldentops

Exhibition design by Steven Jouwersma

Curated by Pauline Hatzigeorgiou
 
In this setting, which evokes the lobby of an anonymous company, the exhibition is conceived as an installation-display offering a glimpse into the universe of O.J.A.I., with a scenography by Steven Jouwersma, and within which the artists Julia Zinnbauer, Robin Faymonville and Marjolein Guldentops are also invited to perform. Fruit Anxiety, Desire and Method brings together a range of new works by the duo and provides a retrospective look at their publishing work. O.J.A.I.'s methodical practice draws on the aesthetics, vocabulary and codes of a bureaucracy that seems to come from the dystopian projections of a past both near and far. Playing with the positions of artist-bureaucrats and agents of a self-organization, their practice examines the power of the institution, its functioning, its languages and its performative aspect, challenging them by incarnating them. O.J.A.I.'s conceptual and narrative universe never ceases to expand its boundaries and to nourish semi-fictional connections that lift a sometimes scathing, sometimes oblique and often ironic veil over technological and symbolic dominations. Drawing from both official narratives and conspiracy literature, their work raises the limits of contemporary realism by associating fantasized origins with the factual effects of biopolitics. It navigates us through spaces that evoke the arcana of power and the perversions of the service economy,targeting phallocratic symbols found in urban space, utilitarian architecture and airport spaces. Questioning the impact of the ingenuity of the present on this now generalized state of anxiety, the exhibition focuses on the dialectic of the disciplined body, its submission to the languages of power and its desires subverted by the capitalism of surveillance.
 Opening and performances _11.11.21_17h>20h

______Headquarters lecture by Julia Zinnbauer
Julia Zinnbauer studied scenography and sculpture at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and English at the Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf. She lives and works in Düsseldorf, Germany. The starting point of her projects is her enthusiasm for architecture, fashion and language. Julia took part in group shows in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Wuppertal, Dallas and in Wexford/Ireland.

______Assembly Call by Marjolein Guldentops
Marjolein Guldentops born in 1994 lives and works in Brussels. In her artistic practice, she explores her affinity for language and the urban landscape. At times typographic, poetic and performative.
 
______Inaugural Sounds by 0.J.A.I.
Office for Joint Administrative Intelligence is the collaborative practice of artists Chris Dreier (DE) and Gary Farrelly (IRE/BE). The work is fuelled by a recurring obsession with architecture, infrastructure, finance,  institutional power and DIY ritualism. O.J.A.I. pursues a strategy of self-institutionalisation where tools and codified rules of engagement are appropriated from economic and political infrastructures for the purposes of structuring intimacy and conjuring autonomy.
 
 Finissage and performances _13.01.22_17h>20h

______Notes on the Dead-End by Robin Faymonville
After studying philosophy (UCL) and painting (La Cambre), Robin Faymonville (Liège, 1995) develops a practice navigating between drawing, performance, installation, and writing. His work plays on the failure of communication and explores the tensions between pictoriality and textuality. Last exhibitions include Brussels Drawing Week (Brussels), Art au Centre (Liège), Prix Médiatine (Brussels) & Festival de la Jeune Vidéo (Paris).
