Monster Chetwynd: Moths, Bats and Velvet Worms! Moths, Bats and Heretics!
Moths, bats, and worms take over the Belvedere 21 and open the doors for heretics and witches: Monster Chetwynd鈥檚 first solo museum exhibition in Austria interweaves art, (hi)story, theory, craft, and community into a large-scale work explicitly developed for the house , which will be activated and animated by performers.
Chetwynd鈥檚 cross-genre practice, encompassing film, collage, painting, and installation, combines elements of folk theater, pop culture, and surrealist cinema. Chetwynd is known for anarchic bric-a-brac performances with handmade costumes, props, and sets, often employing simple materials that are easy to use and adapt. The emphasis is on the collaborative process of creating the artwork. Chetwynd describes the artistic work as 鈥渋mpatiently made,鈥� yet draws on carefully researched, diverse cultural references, ranging from Christine de Pizan to Silvia Federici.
