CARAVAN 3/2020: Rachele Monti
Series of Exhibitions of Young Art
Starting from the two-dimensional medium of photography, Rachele Monti (b. 1990) creates immersive spatial installations. They are intimate worlds dominated by sensory impressions, featuring light projections, bright colours and dense surfaces, which Monti places in a tense relationship with one another in the space. Here the human body, a favourite pictorial theme of the reworked photographic image, assumes a central role.
In her artistic practice Rachele Monti engages with the non tangible, which she gives a concrete form in her works. The starting point for this is the human body, which she understands not only as an assemblage of skin, bones, muscles etc., but in the extended sense also as a vehicle for feelings and stories, for the unspoken and the unspeakable.
The Series of Exhibitions of Young Swiss art is a fixture in the programme. CARAVAN offers the public opportunities to encounter surprising young art and discover as yet unestablished artists at the Aargauer Kunsthaus.
Over the course of the year, the three solo exhibitions appear as “mobile interventions” in different locations at the museum. The artists are invited to bring their works into a dialogue with the building, the collection and the programme of the Kunsthaus.
