Kobby Adi: Cloisters & Instruments | Frieze

Marko Gluhaich: Kobby Adi – whose practice was profiled in the May issue of frieze – made a 16mm film of slowly rotting apples [Cloisters, 2023–24] for the exhibition ‘Cloisters and Instruments’ at the Swiss Institute in New York. Adi is working within a lineage of institutional critique, and this film and its distribution across numerous venues draws attention to the frameworks and limitations related to making work in this genre.
