Armleder John M, *1948 (Geneva) Lives in Geneva and New York, works with painting, sculpture, installation, photography, video, drawing and prints. Untitled,1983 Gouache on cardboard, 49 x 32 cm © John M Armleder John M Armleder attracted attention in the 1980s as a proponent of the so-called "Neo-Geo" style. His work, however, is essentially an expression of his involvement in the Fluxus movement of the early 1960s and shows a profundity that goes beyond this brief trend. Armleder's scepticism of elaborate structures of meaning and stylistic labelling can be seen, amongst other things, in the fact that he refers to Constructivist criteria as if a breath of Dadaism had swept through the carefully constructed shell. |

Armleder John M, *1948 (Geneva) Lives in Geneva and New York, works with painting, sculpture, installation, photography, video, drawing and prints. Untitled,1993 Oil, synthetic varnish, aluminium paint, glue, acetate on canvas, 150 x 300 cm © John M Armleder This piece by Armleder is part of his ongoing series of so-called "Pour Paintings", which can extend to over a dozen metres in length. They are created from whole containers of acrylic, lacquer and spray paint and executed from a mobile scaffold, enabling the artist to replay the allover action painting of a Jackson Pollock or Morris Louis but without getting splattered. |

Armleder John M, *1948 (Geneva) Lives in Geneva and New York, works with painting, sculpture, installation, photography, video, drawing and prints. Fluorescent Tube Sculpture,2002 Fluorescent tubes in different colours, various sizes © John M Armleder Action or movement is played out in Armleder's multicolour fluorescent tube sculptures, as in this collapsed pile of coloured tubes. The exuberance of these works evokes Dan Flavin's investigations with light as well as the dazzling light of a nightclub, another conflation of antagonistic content and values. |
