Förg Günther, *1952 (Füssen, Germany) Lives in Colombier, Switzerland, and Munich, works with painting, sculpture, installation, photography, drawing and prints. Villa Rüschlikon,2000 , © Günther Förg Förg's work offers a subtle form of intervention, playing with the existing architecture of the site that combines a 1920s villa with a modern conference venue. Förg's concept for converting the Neo-Baroque residence involves the entire building, from sculptural design to furniture, offsetting modern with historic, dark with light, colour with monochrome. In the central entrance hall, two enormous tubes of raw metal, placed slightly off centre with no static function, climb the full height of the stairwell -- a provocative and idiosyncratic dissonance amidst the refined craftsmanship and luxurious wood panelling. Förg hones our awareness of the subtle play of references and implications that invests the physical presence of the architectural spaces with a symbolic order. |

Förg Günther, *1952 (Füssen, Germany) Lives in Colombier, Switzerland, and Munich, works with painting, sculpture, installation, photography, drawing and prints. Untitled,1990 Woodcut, 254 x 132 cm © Günther Förg His work is defined as "art about art" because a substantial part of it involves a continuous, critical reaction to pictures that already exist. The pioneers of Modernism, from Piet Mondrian to Barnett Newman and Blinky Palermo, are the principle models that inform Günther Förg's investigations. This rigorous approach has become more relaxed since the beginning of the 1990s. Förg now more freely presents different artistic processes, which are often of a disarmingly basic simplicity. |
