Dominique Bondy, born in Zurich in 1946, created an extensive
artistic oeuvre starting in her youth, and later also alongside her
studies of comparative literature and Romance philology and her
work as a psychoanalyst. It comprises pen and ink drawings and
paintings in an art brut style, as well as surrealistic collages.
In the 1980s and 1990s her works were displayed in several gallery
exhibitions in Zurich. This is the first book to be published about
Bondy's art. The volume highlights what Bondy is concerned with in
her artistic work: tracing her own life in order to find herself.
The full colour plates are accompanied by Bondy's own poems, which
she writes in French, English, and German, some of which were
written specifically for this book. The text contributions come
from the writer and philologist Iso Camartin and the art historian
Marianne Karabelnik. Reflections on her biography and art by
Dominique Bondy herself round out the book. Text in English and
German.
Peter Panyoczki is at home on two continents and thus his life is
that of a perpetual emigrant - a person permanently on the move,
which is also reflected in his work that is permeated by signs of
presence during absence. He belongs to the 1980s generation of
artists who polemically rejected conceptual art yet did not simply
return to figurative art. Instead, they have a conceptual interest
in the question of art as a medium: art is perceived as a medium
when its visibility is put to the test. His work expresses the
paradox of communication that refuses to reveal itself by providing
information of what it is made of. It is pleasantly free of
morality, while at the same time it does not avoid the tension
created by self-irony and a socially reflected "cultural
criticism." This monograph presents his work of the past 13 years,
investigating it from various aspects in a series of very different
contributions.
