Facetune Portraits: Exhibition Opening by HOLON x fx(hash). Berlin Art Week
We are delighted to invite you to the opening event of Facetune Portraits by artist Gretchen Andrew on Wednesday 11 September, 19:00 - 22:30 as part of official programme of Berlin Art Week at Holon (Greifswalder Str. 29 / 2. Hinterhof, 10405 Berlin).
Facetune Portraits by Gretchen Andrew is a new series that deploys generative art and oil painting. For Berlin Art Week, Gretchen’s creative robotics facility migrates from London to Berlin, transforming HOLON’s space into a blended physical/digital studio. The algorithmic filters of facetuning, readily available on social media platforms promise a more "appealing" version of ourselves. Gretchen challenges this ideal by employing custom-built robots to physically apply these "beautifying" algorithms onto wet oil-painted paintings–portraits of Berlin-based influencers interviewed and photographed by the artist herself. As a result, viewers are exposed to a captivating exploration of the dissonance between our natural state and the constructed image we strive for.
The project is presented in collaboration between HOLON, a Berlin-based art space, and fx(hash), a generative art platform.
