Synopsis:
Each copy of this opulent survey on John Armleder features a uniquely treated cover by the artist
The work of influential Swiss artist John Armleder (born 1948) has spanned many mediums, from his distinctive Furniture Sculptures to his Fluxus performances with the Écart collective, from his diverse painting series to his drawing practice, from his striking installations and wall paintings to his numerous collaborative works.
Published to accompany two simultaneous exhibitions―one a rare retrospective, and one an exhibition of installation and total environments―John Armleder: The Grand Tour immerses the reader in the artist’s world. Each copy of the book features a unique cover by the artist, treated with special color inks and glitter.
An extensive interview with the artist, an essay about Armleder’s painting and its historical relevance by curator Heidi Zuckerman, and a complete biography and bibliography supply a grand synthesis of Armleder’s influential oeuvre.
As Zuckerman puts it in her essay, underlining how Armleder has served as a role model for generations of younger contemporary artists: “In a time when the attempt to categorize as a means to understand as well as self-locate is prevalent in both life and art, John Armleder remains known for having no restrictions or fixed ways of working.”
About the Author: Fondateur en 1969 à Genève, avec d'autres artistes proches de Fluxus, du groupe Ecart et de la galerie du même nom, John M Armleder (né à Genève en 1948) a développé une œuvre incroyablement subtile et complexe, depuis les performances et installations dans les années 1970 jusqu'aux collages, compositions abstraites, emprunts explicites à l'histoire de l'art et réutilisations de mobilier (Furniture Sculpture), qui lui vaudront la consécration dans les années 1980 et le feront figurer en première ligne dans la reconnaissance internationale du courant néo-géo.
