Rearranger Studios Presents A Gaetane Michaux Production
Bushwick Yourself!

Gaëtane Michaux is an artist and architect from Brussels who lives and works in Brooklyn. With a hyperactive imagination, an obsessive and meticulous lust for edges and details, and a desire to re-arrange, she can usually be found with some sort of cutting tool in her hands.

If architecture is building, graphic design the creation of images, and sculpture the massaging of matter, then Gaëtane's background in the three have left her interested in mixing up everything she sees. From street art to people, Gaëtane reconfigures what already exists in the world.

Combining ready-made images, and custom-made puzzles, Gaëtane creates new possibilities and adjacencies. Movie posters, street art, street artists, family and friends have all fallen victim to her x-acto blade, only to have their pieces mixed up with those of others, and put back together again, finding themselves completely puzzled.
