Georgie Nettell: Balance is a Complex Thing

Georgie Nettell’s practice could be defined as a revisiting of the tactics of institutional critique in a post-Fordist, neo-liberal present when the artist as creative worker is deemed role model for everyday life. Through various mediums including painting, photography, sculpture and video, Nettell has critiqued the value of art work in the gallery, the artist as producer, the aesthetics of minimalism and abstraction, the creative worker in the home, and what she has called the ​“fascism of everyday life”, often demonstrating the very process of critique and what is being critiqued in the doing.
