L'Arsenal Contemporary in Montreal is one of the biggest exhibition sites in the city. To get to Futurs Spéculaires you must cross a few colourful exhibitions and this will only increase the pleasure of your visit. Once you arrive at the exhibition, you enter an immense dark space where dazzling colours are constantly in motion. These are the digital 3D animation and specular reflections from various installations.
There are only 17 works in the exhibition, but they reveal endless compositions as the images morph constantly. Some pieces are digital prints where you can see a concern with classical elements of art, for example the marble statues of antiquity, treated with contemporary musings on the great creative potential of digital manipulations in her series MONADES 2020.
She presents five videos in a smaller space. These large screens draw us in with creamy motifs that evoke soft caramel accompanied by an ASMR soundtrack that keeps us engaged and relaxed into the flow.
Sabrina Ratté has been showing her work around the world in prestigious institutions like the Pompidou Center in Paris, The Laforet Museum in Tokyo, even our very own Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, among others.
BELOW: one second of one of the animated tableau. I wanted to find the perfect image to represent the exhibition when so many great views have been shared already. Then I noticed this transitory jewel that looks like rolls of fine silk landing on a white vase. The ultra modern composition reminds us of the traditional nature morte of the greatest painters of all times. I am not telling you where it is, you will have to find it.
