History is a Dying Star, Jelena Telecki, NEW14, ACCA, Melbourne
Jelena Telecki’s paintings prove that the representation of subjective truth need not automatically result in simple illustrative narratives. In the artist’s recent body of work, references to the overreaching ‘utopian’ ambitions of states and their leaders, are unhinged from easy readings of historical causality.
To produce value under Capital is a misfortune because it means producing value for somebody else.
