PARLEY X ROSEMARIE TROCKEL
Rosemarie Trockel „The Computer Is In The Garage” (2024)
Rosemarie Trockel's unique print edition for Parley for the Oceans marks a fascinating exploration of the intersections between technology, memory, and artistic intervention. In these new works, Trockel delves into her photographic archive, utilizing AI to generate three compelling, new photographic portraits based on her personal images. These AI-generated portraits are each screenprinted on Trockels drawings and the artist's further engagement with spraypainted motifs, layering abstract elements that disrupt and enhance the compositions. Intriguingly, she incorporates the word "Démodé," a French term meaning "out of fashion" or "obsolete," adding a layer of commentary on the ephemerality of trends - including the rapid evolution and eventual obsolescence of AI.- and technology and the timelessness of personal and artistic identity. This innovative series not only highlights Trockel's continuous engagement with contemporary themes but also underscores her ability to blend cutting-edge technology with more traditional artistic techniques, creating works that resonate with both historical depth and contemporary relevance.
