The Aargauer Kunsthaus presents Towards No Earthly Pole, a solo exhibition of the young western Swiss artist Julian Charrière (b. 1987 in Morges). The centrepiece of the show is Charrière’s titular new film, which he started working on in 2017. For this work the artist travelled to some of the most inhospitable areas of our planet like the Antarctic, Greenland and Iceland, as well as to extraordinary local topographies like the Rhône and Aletsch glaciers and Mont Blanc.

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.
