Augustin Rebetez's 'Vitamin' Exhibition at Aargauer Kunsthaus
The Aargauer Kunsthaus in Aarau, Switzerland, presents 'Vitamin', an exhibition by Swiss artist Augustin Rebetez (born 1986), running until May 29, 2023. The show features a multimedia installation with strobe lights, monsters, hearts, crosses, and cute creepy cats, aiming to disrupt rational society. Rebetez collaborates with his mother Michèle Martin on a milky-toned room, with bell foundry Rüetschi AG for bronze birds, with Moroccan Beni Ouarain weavers for rugs, and with Léo Regazzoni for a chapel. The exhibition includes a practical guide catalogue with charcoal drawings and mantras. Art critic Marion Zilio reviews the show, noting its immersive, spiritual, and humorous tone that reflects the TikTok era.
