intermedial paintings & installations
Arotin & Serghei créent un univers de couleurs en superposition, en mouvement, en fusion et en éclat. Dans leurs oeuvres, le duo combine des techniques de dessin, de composition et de montage, en utilisant des médias et matériaux innovants et en intégrant des éléments de sons, d’architecture ainsi que des concepts scientifiques et philosophiques.
En avant-première à Genève et en coopération avec museum in progress, l’exposition présente des tableaux et installations faisant partie du projet “In nite Screen”, oeuvre d’art total, work-in-progress, initiée au Konzerthaus Wien en 2013, puis développée au Festival Ars Electronica 2014 et à la Biennale di Venezia 2015. La démarche se poursuivra au Kunsthistorisches Museum à Vienne en septembre 2016.
