Simon Moretti: Abacus

Craig Burnett,Yuval Etgar,Deborah Levy,Chloe Aridjis,Andrew Durbin

Simon Moretti is known for his enigmatic exhibition works, presenting displays that engage with questions of agency, temporality, automatism, desire and masculinity. Incorporating appropriated images and archives as well as curatorial and publishing projects, often made in collaboration with other artists, his work addresses the role of ‘curating as practice’. Presented as a non-chronological visual essay, this publication surveys 10 years of collage works by Moretti. It includes text contributions from writer Craig Burnett, curator and art historian Yuval Etgar, novelists Deborah Levy and Chloe Aridjis, and a conversation with Andrew Durbin, editor-in-chief of Frieze. Simon Moretti is an artist based in London. His work deals with context and display through the use of appropriated images, archives, curatorial projects and publishing projects, often in collaboration with other artists. Recent exhibitions include Crocodile Cradle, PEER, London (2021); None of the Above, a project by John Armleder, KANAL Centre Pompidou, Brussels (2020); The Enigma of the Hour: 100 Years of Psychoanalytic Thought, with Goshka Macuga, Freud Museum, London (2019); A Utopian Stage: To Be Free is to Loose Sight of the Shore, curated by Vali Mahlouji, Dhaka Art Summit 18, Bangladesh (2018); Revolt of the Sage, with Craig Burnett, Blain Southern, London (2017); The Camera Exposed, Victoria & Albert Museum, London (2016).
