Jordan Wolfson Ultimate Pop?

-

Jordan Wolfson is cheeky. Playing with the codes of high and low culture, his programmed puppets and robots

mimic violent and pornograph­ic movements. His vertiginou­s animated cartoons turn out to be powerful critiques

of the medium they were made in. His work, a subversive, trash variation

on Pop Art, destabiliz­es the viewer. A visit to the David Zwirner gallery was a must to experience the carnivales­que

power of his work. “It’s not my mode of thought that

has caused my misfortune­s, but the mode of thought of others.”

The Marquis De Sade.
