Kuznets Curve presents a 1:20 scale model of a Gulfstream G650 luxury private jet intersecting with the gallery wall at a precipitous angle. Rendered in mahogany and metallic gold paint and devoid of doors or windows, the plane can be read simultaneously as scene of tragedy and as a darkly humorous response to the excesses of capitalism present in the world of the ultra-wealthy. At an initial price of $65 million, the G650 became the uber-symbol of post-GFC personal wealth. Its years-long waiting lists meant that some early purchasers were able to immediately ‘flip’ their investment to other less patient billionaires for multi-million-dollar profits – a particularly apt example of the numerous adages about the wealth growth. The work’s title references a similarly positive narrative, making reference to the economic hypothesis that economic growth first increases but ultimately decreases inequality. As a whole however, the scenario that the work depicts symbolically complicates and upends such principles. With its seductive golden lustre and blackly comic sensibility, the work also considers the ambivalent position contemporary art occupies in relation to capitalism and the ultra-rich. In this combination of forms and references, the work prompts audiences to consider their own understandings of the intersection of these social and economic spheres.
