Shana Moulton - Every Cell Is a Bell

The need for self-optimization and the resulting interdependencies between promises of salvation of specific consumer culture and the “belief forms” of today – for instance esoteric movements or New Age spiritualism – serve as starting points for the work of Shana Moulton (born 1976 in Oakhurst CA, lives and works in California). Products from the wellness, health and beauty sector that are geared toward female consumers in particular, but also decorative and utility items from the household, aisle as protagonists and extras for her narrative videos and installations in which she herself appears as a character. In her videos, Moulton navigates a psychedelic universe of self-healing gadgets and products that have sprung to life. Moulton’s imagery employs cheap visual effects and the ever-visible use of green-screen technology, recalling both do-it-yourself home videos and the seductive and soothing language of advertising or music videos. The visual language of repetitive and hallucinatory images, as well as the ongoing, clip-like narrative flow, also reference the world of American television and film, such as the Disney-extravaganza Fantasia (1940), which first became popular only number of years after it was made together with mind-altering drug experiences, or David Lynch’s legendary TV-series Twin Peaks.

Art-Histories Special for children
with Iris Brugger

Cynthia lebt in einer bunten Welt voller wundersamen Dingen, in der Hosen ohne Beine gehen können, in der sich Schubladen von alleine öffnen. Cynthia fliegt zum Fenster hinaus oder geht durch Wände. Die Videos und Installationen von Shana Moultons aktueller Ausstellung im Kunsthaus Glarus kreisen um die Erlebnisse der Figur Cynthia ¯ dargestellt von der Künstlerin selbst.

Wir tauchen in ihr phantastisches Universum ein, lassen uns inspirieren und gestalten eine eigene kleine Wunderwelt.

Die Teilnahme ist kostenlos. Bei Gruppen von mehr als 10 Kindern sind wir dankbar um eine Anmeldung an: kunstvermittlung@kunsthausglarus.ch.

Summer party

Zum Ende der Ausstellung Every Cell Is a Bell von Shana Moulton laden wir herzlich ein zum Sommerfest mit Grill, Drinks und Kino.

Programm:
17.00 Uhr: Führung mit Judith Welter
Ab 18.00 Uhr: Grill von Raffael Müller und Bar
Anschliessend (bei Dämmerung) Open-Air-Kino mit Walt Disney's Fantasia (1940)

Fantasia (1940) wurde Ende der 1960er Jahre zum Kultfilm und visuellen Aushängeschild einer Generation, die mit bewusstseinserweiternden Drogen experimentierte und alles Psychedelische kultivierte. Shana Moultons halluzinatorischen Bildwelten und ihr serieller, clipartiger Erzählfluss verweisen unter anderem auf diesen Kultfilm – wie auch auf weitere Referenzen aus der amerikanischen Fernseh- und Kinowelt. Zum Sommerausklang zeigen wir den Film bei schönem Wetter im Vorhof des Kunsthauses.
Trailer

Parallel zum Sommerfest findet in der Gepäckausgabe ab 18.00 Uhr die Finissage der Ausstellung Im Phasenraum von Tamara Hauser mit einem Konzert von Laura Livers statt.
