Jan Jedlicka is a painter, draftsman, graphic artist, photographer
and filmmaker, but also a wanderer, observer and explorer. His
paintings are primarily a record of what he experiences as he walks
through the landscape and engages with its changes. Combining
different techniques and media, he creates multi-layered images of
places he observes, usually over long periods of time. Formative
for him were his sojourns in the Italian Maremma, Prague, and some
areas in the British Isles. The publication opens up Jedlicka's
work in its entirety – not chronologically, but as a mapping of
the artist's movements through the landscape and along the paths of
his various artistic strategies.
Through a decade of friendship, sharing the same environs and being
active collectors, Sonja Graber and Christian Graber are
inextricably connected to the photographer Annelies Strba, the
jewellery and object artist Bernhard Schobinger and the painter
Adrian Schiess. A far cry from thoughts of prestige and conjecture,
one of the most extensive collections from all genres of the three
Swiss artists has now emerged out of artistic and personal esteem.
In the collectors, the artists and the Kunsthaus Zug, like-minded
people have come together in the most indiscriminate appreciation
of fine and applied art. To mark the occasion of the donation of
the Graber collections to the museum, the three internationally
renowned artists along with hitherto largely unpublished works are
now united in one publication. Contents: Art is an Experiment for
Us by Matthias Haldemann; Supporting the Artists: Building the
Graber Collection by Marco Obrist; Things, Art ... Art Things by
Felix Philipp Ingold; Undine's Song by Ildegarda Scheidegger; The
Year's Production from 1981, the Start of Painting by Ulrich Loock;
The Graber Collection at Kunsthaus Zug; artists' biographies. Text
in English and German.
The collection of Joelle and Pierre Clement includes Australian
painters whose work draws on Aboriginal culture and traditions.
This catalog by Kunsthaus Zug features 80 works by 50 artists from
the collection, as well as paintings by Emily Kame Kngwarreye. The
image and text contributions allow for an in-depth examination of
the color-intensive, supposedly abstract painting and shed light on
the diverse artistic positions as well as the different peoples and
regions of Central Australia. With their "dot paintings," the
painters translate their millennia-old culture between traditional
mythology and postcolonial reality into fascinating images created
for international viewers. The publication brings together 50
painters, including established names such as Kathleen Petyarre and
Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri, as well as lesser-known positions.
One focus is on the works of EMILY KAME KNGWARREYE (1910-1996).
