Saw this on the ‘gram this morning and the title of this blog post popped into my mind. Zurich-based Jasmine Gregory’s work felt based in Zurich, luxury institutional critique from the inside, or the aftermath. There’s something more enticingly abject going on here, though, in these plastic bags of stuff hanging forlornly on the wall. She calls them bundles, and the ones on Karma International’s website are just described, opaquely, as mixed media.
But the ones Gregory put in a 2024 group show at Sentiment, including Bundle No. 12 above, include a painting among the disposable flotsam of plastic, packaging, ribbons and wire. The context for painting is shiny, manufactured, and attractive, but also garbage. I am still trying to figure out if they work better by virtue of seeming more unsellable, or is that just going another layer deeper in the critique.
If you’re in Warsaw, you can see how they do in an art fair. Karma [Zurich] will be showing in Constellations 2026, the galleryshare thing this weekend. [constellations.pl]
