Biennale Artist by Nihaal Faizal

500.00

Description

An artist’s multiple in an edition of 50 (per colour – red, blue, black), which replicates the acrylic badges popularly seen in India, worn by school students and service employees, and often a marker of rank and status within those contexts. Etched on the badge is the text Biennale Artist, a claim towards upward professional mobility and status in an altogether unregulated industry.

Nihaal Faizal’s works respond to the copy, the replica, the remake, the gadget, and the gimmick. He is based in Bangalore, India, where he founded Reliable Copy, a publishing house for works, projects, and writing by artists.
