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of the Graber collections to the museum, the three internationally renowned artists along with hitherto largely unpublished works are now united in one publication.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).
