Big Finance's Dominance and the Nineties New York Ambience Stalk Jenna Bliss's Solo Exhibition

In the heart of Zehlendorf, at Argentinische Allee 30, the Haus am Waldsee exhibition is currently running and is a must-visit for art enthusiasts. The exhibition, which runs through May 5, features a film titled 'True Entertainment' (2023) that brilliantly satirizes the relationship between creative endeavor and extreme wealth.

'True Entertainment' is filmed in the style of a reality TV show, capturing the behavior of fist-pumping gallerists, "rich bitch" assistants, and obsessive collectors in a cycle of hierarchical one-upmanship. The film is set just before the financial crisis, offering a thrilling insight into the sordid world of the art industry.

The exhibition also includes the video work 'Professional witnesses', which is deliberately irksome, provocative, unpleasant, and off-key. This eight-part video work features half-fictionalized accounts of 9/11 witnesses, shot in the style of an Apple campaign from the early 2000s. One witness in the video reflects on the price of gold after the impact of the plane hitting the first tower during the 9/11 attacks.

The exhibition explores collective memory and the influence of big finance, focusing on the events of the 9/11 attacks and the credit crunch of 2008. The opaque wall works included in the exhibition connect the Manhattan skyline with ghostly reflections, adding an eerie yet thought-provoking element to the exhibition.

Anyone who has ever been in a gallery booth during an art fair can relate to the film's thrilling sordidness. The exhibition at Haus am Waldsee is a unique and thought-provoking exploration of memory, finance, and the art world, making it a must-visit for art lovers and general audiences alike.
