Darren ROSHIER, Grey Truth

master beeldende kunsten - autonome vormgeving

NL

Darren Roshier is an artist, a curator and a politician. The inspiration for Darren Roshier’s artistic work comes precisely from this multiplicity of roles. Like so many fractured identities, he proudly asserts his three-way role. In 2016, he failed to be elected mayor of his hometown in Switzerland. This political experience deeply shook his relationship to art and politics, and the link between them. He discovered the notion of dissensus and the artistic and political impact it could have. He also discovered that unfortunately, dissensus was the traditional consensus of the artworld. Trying to create a dissensus elsewhere than in the artworld then became an evidence. In 2019, he launched his YouTube Channel: Grey Truth, attempting to become an Internet Celebrity.
