Title
PAUL SIETSEMA
Description
Paul Sietsema’s work explores the conditions of artmaking in our era of instantly accessible information. Taking ordinary objects and images as his subject matter, he passes them through a series of material transformations. Sietsema’s process parallels the changes in meaning and value such objects undergo as they circulate through our cultural and economic systems. Sietsema uses relics {such as coins and paper currencies, newspaper advertisements, posters for past art exhibitions, and rotary telephones in pools of paint] from the not-so-distant past to examine the possibility of an artwork as an object of communication, as well as the displacement of different kinds of values — functional, aesthetic, material, symbolic.
