Vhils - Strata
Join us for the first solo exhibition of renowned artist Alexandre Farto, known as Vhils, in Germany. Titled 'Strata,' this exhibition showcases a comprehensive selection of works spanning from 2005 to 2025. Visitors will have the opportunity to explore the evolution of Vhils' distinctive artistic style, which is characterized by a deep investigation into the multifaceted nature of cities and their inhabitants.
Vhils employs a unique subtractive technique, revealing hidden stories by carving away surfaces, a metaphor for how time, globalization, and gentrification shape urban landscapes. The exhibition features significant pieces from his delicate wall carvings in the 'Scratching the Surfaces' series to explosive relief sculptures, large-scale installations, and mixed-media compositions.
Additionally, the MUCA will display previously unseen archival material from Vhils' personal collection. Families can enjoy guided tours tailored for ages 8 and up on June 1st at 16:00 and July 19th at 13:00, running until November 30th. Don't miss Vhils' spectacular installation from his 'Latency Series' at KUNSTLABOR 2, symbolizing communication in the age of hyperconnectivity.
