Le Monde by kelly heaton

I’m busy preparing “Circuit Garden” for exhibition starting February 28 in the lobby of 5 Manhattan West in Hudson Yards… and I have therefore been remiss in updating my website… but Le Monde just published my painting “Vladimir Putin (the operational amplifier),” 2017: https://www.lemonde.fr/international/article/2022/02/04/amelie-zima-la-force-d-attraction-de-l-union-europeenne-en-ukraine-gene-vladimir-poutine_6112365_3210.html

I continue to grapple with identity in the digital age. What happens to all of those selfies that we snap and upload all over the place? I can't access my data history on my iPhone 4 and that was less than 10 years ago. But woe to the teenagers of today, who are destined to revisit a public image record beyond their control.
