Eva Fabregas & Patricia Pisanelli @ Laure Geuillard

First Act: Smooth Operations brings together the work of Eva Fàbregas and Patricia Pisanelli, two London-based artists whose practices are predominantly concerned with the affective and the subjective in the context of the so-called ‘experience economy’. The works place the subject —the individual, the group— amidst the material culture we live in and investigate today’s consumer society under conditions of advanced capitalism.
Both artists have developed a subtle, and often humorous body of work that look at an accelerated reality where the real and the artificial sometimes blur, giving way to a detached form of experience. In this context emotions and notions such as desire and expectation gain an unexpected form of gravitas.
