Rémy Zaugg: The Question of Perception: Cat. Museum für Gegenwartskunst Siegen

Rémy Zaugg: The Question of Perception: Cat. Museum für Gegenwartskunst Siegen

Javier Hontoria
0/5 ( ratings)
Key Works / Key TextsInterdisciplinary approach and theoretical foundation in artistic practice have always been part of the work by Swiss artist Rémy Zaugg , yet for him, painting had always remained essential. His artistic ­position therefore still remains quite unique not least ­because he, first of all, posed the existential question of perception. Without the artist’s, as well as the viewers’ perception, and the constant confrontation with ever-changing conditions, there would be no work of art. This can only be process-oriented and subject to various phenomena, and therefore cannot be reduced to just the object. Thus Rémy Zaugg always considered painting a kind of basic research for any applied projects, be it in architecture or urbanism. His ­writing on museum and exhibition architecture may be regarded as key works on artistic examination, where amazingly simple realisations are formulated using rather suggestive rhetoric. This ­retrospective volume appears on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the death of the artist; there is ­currently no publication on his artwork available on the ­market. In addition, this book contains a small cross section of the unusual essay work by the artist.
