Rémy Zaugg –

In commemoration of the 10th anniversary of Rémy Zaugg’s death (1943– 2005), the Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Siegen wished to pay tribute to and review the complex oeuvre of the Swiss artist and exhibition maker. The retrospective presented Zaugg’s paintings, video works and projects in public space. An international team of experts and curators have organised a symposium which addressed the ethical and aesthetic aspects in Rémy Zaugg’s works, e.g. his life-long investigation of how perception influences artistic production and the reception of its results, or the artist’s role in society. In cooperation with international partners, the project organisers edited and published Rémy Zaugg’s collected writings, letters, lectures and interviews in nine volumes in German and French. After its presentation in Siegen, the exhibition will be shown in Madrid, Basel and Tours.
