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

Key Works / Key Texts

Interdisciplinary approach and theoretical foundation in artistic practice have always been part of the work by Swiss artist R?my Zaugg (1943-2005), 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 R?my Zaugg always considered painting (since the 1960s) a kind of basic research for any applied projects, be it in architecture or urbanism. His ­writing on museum and exhibition architecture (from the 1980s and 1990s) 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.
