Jonathan Vidal (*1990, FR) graduated from HEAD-Geneva and ESADMM (Marseille). In recent years, his practice has primarily focused on the analysis and formal description of neoliberal doctrines and their underlying violence. He has actively built an archive of texts and images (ranging from advertising visuals to article quotations) from a collection of books and magazines such as The Economist, covering a period from the 1990s to the early 2000s. In his work, the transition from theory to form often occurs through speculative narratives. He revisits fragments from these sources and reinterprets them in painting, drawing, and sculpture. Vidal's work tends toward the construction of a speculative logic that highlights and plays with the symbolic dysfunctions and beliefs attached to these value systems.
