Overview

John M Armleder is one of the most important contemporary artists in Europe. His extensive oeuvre includes large-scale installations, paintings, light works, and performances.The profound and the banal, control and coincidence, high culture and everyday life coalesce in Armleder’s work to create a unique experience. The Swiss artist (b. 1948) is one of the most influential contemporary conceptual, performance, and object artists. His works—often humorous or ironically twisted commentaries on contemporary reality—draw on the formal repertoire of Classical Modernism, as well as on video and design, the influences of which he combines in a wide range of media. The present volume focuses on two large-scale, site-specific installations—one indoor and one outdoor—to illustrate in detail the broad spectrum of Armleder’s work. By combining different media, surfaces, and materials, the artist creates spatial events which, despite their heterogeneity, have a great aesthetic effect on the viewer. The catalog is published in conjunction with the exhibition at the Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt (June 7 to September 1, 2019).
