Cécile Bart's Dance-Inspired Paintings/Écrans at Aargauer Kunsthaus
Cécile Bart's work explores the intersection of visual arts and dance, particularly through her series of paintings/écrans. In her installation at Aargauer Kunsthaus in Aarau, she conceived the gallery as a ballroom, referencing Visconti's film 'The Leopard'. The paintings/écrans, suspended like marionettes, create a choreography of movement and color, inviting viewers to navigate the space. Bart's practice draws on the improvisational methods of Merce Cunningham and Pina Bausch, and her works evoke the dynamic color fields of Loïe Fuller and Jean-Luc Godard's cinema. Her solo exhibitions include Espace de l'art concret in Mouans-Sartoux (2010), Prix Aurélie Nemours and Musée de Sérignan (2011), and Mamco in Geneva (2012). She lives in Marsannay-la-Côte, Burgundy.
