Rajat Mondal
Deltar i hovedutstillingen – Rom 2, 29
Scarring the Earth
Plumbago
Amass Seism
Hos Rajat Mondal er landskapet et levende system av sanseinntrykk. Fra det mørke til det lyse, det kullbrente til det våte, fortelles en historie om skapelse og ødeleggelse som dveler ved det flyktige.
Om kunstneren
Rajat Mondal is an interdisciplinary artist based in Oslo, Norway. His practice examines how climate change reconfigures local ecosystems and communities, and how colonial and neo-colonial legacies continue to shape the extraction, circulation, and ownership of natural resources.
He creates transformative and transient experiences as we encounter the sounds and sensations of nature that are fading by anthropogenic changes. Working between art, science, and ecology, he combines drawing, video, and sound with recycled electronics, custom mechanics, and ephemeral materials. He treats technology not as a neutral tool, but as a cultural residue: systems of measurement, control, and accelerated consumption, reconfigured to listen, tremble, and bear witness.
He has received his Master’s degree in Medium and Material-Based Art from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts (2024), a Diplôme National d’Art (DNA) from École Supérieure d’Arts & Médias, Caen (2022), an MFA from the University of Hyderabad (2019), and a BFA from Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkata (2017).
His solo exhibitions include ‘Listening to the Wind’ at Gallery Snerk, Tromsø(2026); Echoes of Resilience II at Trykkeriet, Bergen (2025); EORNUS at Akademirommet -Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo (2024), and Plumbago and Tremor at Galleri Seilduken, Oslo (2023). He has also participated in prominent group exhibitions such as Høstutstillingen Oslo (2024) , EKA gallery, Tallinn, Estonia (2024) and the ]interstice[ festival (France, 2024).
