CUETO PROJECT IN WHITEHOT MAGAZINE

Jemma Jorel Interviews Valerie Cueto

For this interview, I headed over to Chelsea on the Eve of Christmas Eve to shake off a hangover with glamorous curator Valerie Cueto. Her eponymous gallery, The Cueto Project, is currently exhibiting an ode to symbolism called The Flowers of Evil Still Bloom (Spleen: Les Fleurs du Mal). The gallery is transformed into a sprawling apartment, dark and uncanny, and the tour through is quite captivating. There was a little something for everyone. If one did not appreciate the variety of mediums, whether the bed of Arnon or the coiffure chandelier by Shoplifter, then one would have to at least acknowledge the skilled fusion of contemporary and classic. Symbolism proves to be a lasting source of inspiration to artists, and a movement that stands the test of time as strange and astonishing. I think we all owe a thank you to Ms. Cueto for the fresh incentive to reread Against the Grain.
