DEAR MICHEL MAJERUS (1967–2002)
The first time MICHEL MAJERUS was born was in 1967 in Luxembourg. The second time was a decade after his death, as a set of recurring online images. MAHFUZ SULTAN pays homage to the artist responsible for the “fly 1990s Y2K afterlife for pop art,” reflecting on his early adoption of Photoshop and his Warholian desire to paint without a paintbrush.
