"Toute-Grâce", or when sculpture enters into dialogue with the mountain and the spiritual, is an exhibition created for CREMERIE.
It presents itself as a liminal TERRITORY, suspended in a space-time where visitors are invited to wander between an inflatable forest and the trophy-heads of STRANGE animals.
Artist Aurélie Menaldo's monographic exhibition can be visited twice, with eyes open and eyes closed. In the intimacy of the CREMERIE's walls, surrealist forms and pagan rituals are echoed through sound waves.
Aurélie Menaldo, a visual artist from Haute-Savoie, invokes the fictional potential of objects and the poetic imagination of the surrounding mountains.
Aurélie Menaldo's work questions the artifice and superficiality of physical space, playing with the everyday environment as a stage set. His installations offer a dissonant reading of reality. A tiny discrepancy that stubbornly redirects the gaze and conjures up new landscapes with fictional potential. She uses and reappropriates the materials offered by the site to blend into it and reveal it in a different, unsettling, astonishing and poetic way. Aurélie also works with everyday, trivial objects, revealing their own imaginary world by creating unstable spaces. To approach them and grasp them with the eye, you have to be willing to relinquish a little control and come into contact with shapes and "things" that appeal more to the world of the imagination than to that of understanding. A world imbued with secular spirituality, impermanence and hidden beauty.
