WORKS

View of the solo exhibition "I´ve decided to be happy because it´s good for one´s health" with Jana Sterbak curated by Michel Blancsubé

OEUVRE :

Jana Sterbak possède un style difficile à définir, elle utilise des matériaux non conventionnels (glace, pain, chocolat, viande, cheveux, sueur, feu) pour réaliser les œuvres dont le sujet est souvent l'identité et la liberté individuelle. Her biography may not be directly reflected in her works, but it has provided a pool of experience for an examination of the question as to how different societies are connected with one another. These are questions pertaining to human conflicts in contemporary life, to the tension between the private and public spheres, between freedom and dependence.

Jana Sterbak’s works are as poetic as they are political. (Declaration, 1993, collection NGC, Generic Man, 1987, collection de San Diego Museum of art). They are conceptually precise, interweaving the immediacy of specific materials with references to motifs from mythology, literature and philosophy. Her materials are often ephemeral and transformative, such as the ice that forms the slowly melting chairs of Dissolution-Auditorium, or the pieces of flesh sewn together to make a dress in her famous and much-discussed work and widely copied Vanitas: Flesh Dress for an Albino Anorexic (collection MNAM à Paris, Walker art centre Minneapolis). Both are powerful metaphors for social as well as physical processes that speak to us explicitly on personal and sensory level. (Soke Dinkla, catalogue Life-size, 2017)

L'oeuvre questionne sur la condition humaine — ses désillusions, ses désirs, sa liberté, ses contraintes, sa vulnérabilité, son character éphémère ( Narcisse 2001 Cirva). L'art de Jana Sterbak raconte les mythes de temps contemporain.

Text & Bio

« Sa biographie ne se reflète peut-être pas directement dans ses œuvres, mais elle fournit un bagage d'expériences à partir duquel il est possible d’examiner comment les différentes sociétés sont interconnectées. Cette disposition soulève des questions relatives aux conflits humains contemporains, aux tensions entre sphères publique et privée, entre liberté et dépendance. Les œuvres de Jana Sterbak sont tout aussi poétiques que politiques. Elles sont conceptuellement précises, entremêlant l'immédiateté de matériaux spécifiques et les références à des thèmes issus de la mythologie, de la littérature et de la philosophie. Ses matériaux sont souvent éphémères et portés à se transformer, comme la glace dont sont faites les chaises qui fondent lentement dans Dissolution-Auditorium, ou les pièces de viande qui ont servi à la confection d’une robe dans la célèbre, controversée et, à de multiples reprises, copiée Vanitas : Flesh Dress for an Albino Anorexic. Ces deux œuvres sont de puissantes métaphores des processus sociaux et physiques, qui nous touchent explicitement sur les plans personnel et sensoriel. » (Söke Dinkla, catalogue Life size, 2017).
