Genuine Fake Premium Economy review – brilliantly obnoxious millennial rage at a rigged financial world

The exhibition "Genuine Fake Premium Economy" at a London gallery features works by American artists Jenna Bliss, Buck Ellison, and Jasmine Gregory, all born in the mid-1980s. Their pieces—including Bliss's shaky videos of New York's financial district, Ellison's fictional bank advertisements pairing classical paintings with cynical taglines, and Gregory's luxury watch ads stripped of watches—collectively express millennial rage at a rigged financial system and the aftermath of the 2008 crash.

Artists take a satirical look at the financial crisis in a new London show

Three emerging artists—Jenna Bliss, Buck Ellison, and Jasmine Gregory—present a multi-media exhibition titled 'Genuine Fake Premium Economy' at London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA). The show satirically examines the societal and economic fallout of the 2008 financial crisis, using works that critique capitalism, inheritance, and art-world stereotypes. Gregory repaints Patek Philippe ads to expose class structures, Bliss films a fictional art fair that blurs reality and fiction, and Ellison creates lightboxes for a fictional private bank, manipulating corporate language and philosophy.
