Verklarte Nacht

Laura Berger, Genevieve Cohn, Jonathan Ryan, Alexis Jang, Sasha Ferré

 

28th January – 25th February 2023

MONTI8 is thrilled to announce Verklarte Nacht, featuring the works of Laura Berger, Genevieve Cohn, Jonathan Ryan, Alexis Jang and Sasha Ferré.

These five artists challenge the traditional musical, literary and artistic genre of the nocturne, primarily spread in the XVIII century, and they merge in the blue shades of night recreating the atmosphere of the darkest hours, constantly reinventing reality through the encounter and overlap between the oneiric and natural realm.

The exhibition is based on the poem of the German author Richard Dehmel, included in his work  Wein unde Welt (1896), and the Shonberg symphonic piece inspired by it.
