Set and Setting Kerim Seiler 1997-2022 ISBN: 9783753303697 (HB - EN) € bestellen verlanglijst The publication "Set and Setting: Kerim Seiler 1997-2022" documents the work and activities of the artist Kerim Seiler from the beginnings of his career to the multifaceted large-scale projects that he has realized in public spaces and thus achieved notoriety beyond Zürich and Switzerland. In addition to its work-documentary character, the focus of the book is on imparting art-historical knowledge, because Seiler's oeuvre can be used to explain discourses and theorems that have had a decisive influence on the development of the visual arts over the past 60 years. From installation and performative work concepts to the situational understanding of art and sitespecific art - Seiler's oeuvre deals with these and other art theoretical methods and approaches, reflects on their origins and translates them into a language and aesthetic of its own.
