Exhibition Manor Culture Prize 2024 Valais - Raphael Stucky. Troposonic

The Valais Art Museum presents Raphael Stucky (*1989), winner of the Manor Culture Prize 2024 Valais. From September 21, 2024 to March 30, 2025, the Valais Art Museum is presenting "Raphael Stucky. Troposonic", the artist's first institutional exhibition.

The artist completed a Bachelor's degree at the Basel University of Art and Design and a Master's degree in Fine Arts at the Zurich University of the Arts. For some years now, his work has focused on experimental sound and rhythm. Using a wide range of media such as photography, video, drawing, sculpture, installation and performance, Raphael Stucky explores the interactions between two worlds, that of sound and that of life, between the intangible and the tangible.

These questions are at the heart of his project for the Ancienne Chancellerie: he questions the past of the building, which served as a prison, and presents a new series of works based on the famous organ of the nearby Basilica of Valeria. They refer to sirens and deal with themes such as travel and exile, imprisonment and freedom, the depth of silence and the vitality of sound. Raphael Stucky makes references to art history, science, the environment and politics. He invites the audience on an organic tour in which sounds that are actually perceived or figuratively suggested form the common thread.

Curator: Maelle Tappy, research associate at the Valais Art Museum.
