{"product_id":"66320-guy-ben-ner","title":"Guy Ben Ner","description":"Guy Ben Ner makes much from little by radically incorporating himself and his private surroundings into his artistic practice. The video artist uses his family's apartment in Tel Aviv as a filming location just as much as he does the branches of a furniture chain. In these often grotesque settings, the influence of economy and politics on the most intimate human relationships is revealed. \u003cbr\u003eIt is the discrepancy between improvised filming situations and the stringency of the artistic concepts that distinguishes his work. In conversation with close friend and fellow artist Christian Jankowski, Ben Ner offers insight into the creative process of his works. For what appears improvised and accidental in the video is based on months of research and rooted in extensive film historical knowledge. Along concepts such as \"aesthetics,\" \"fantasy,\" \"family,\" or \"quote,\" curator Fanni Fetzer develops an alphabet of resistance in Ben Ner's oeuvre. The publication aims to convey the artist's clear political stance and his strategy of playfully offering resistance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe video artist GUY BEN NER (*1969, Ramat Gan, Israel) lives and works in Tel Aviv. In 2003, he completed his studies in fine arts at Columbia University in New York City.
