HOW TO ATTEND
Richard Tuttle’s (b. 1941, Rahway, New Jersey) direct and seemingly simple deployment of objects and gestures reflects a careful attention to materials and experience. Rejecting the rationality and precision of Minimalism, Tuttle embraced a handmade quality in his invention of forms that emphasize line, shape, color, and space as central concerns. He has resisted medium-specific designations for his work, employing the term drawing to encompass what could otherwise be termed sculpture, painting, collage, installation, and assemblage. Overturning traditional constraints of material, medium, and method, Tuttle’s works sensitize viewers to their perceptions. His working process, in which one series begets the next, is united by a consistent quest to create objects that are expressions of their own totality.
Dieter Schwarz was born in Zurich in 1953. From 1990 to 2017 he was director of Kunstmuseum Winterthur. He is now active as independent curator and author, based in Zurich.
Schwarz has been the curator and author of numerous exhibitions and publications on art from early modernity to the present day, among others on classical artists Bonnard, Vuillard, Fautrier, Michaux but also on Italian Arte povera artists Anselmo, Fabro, Kounellis, Mario and Marisa Merz, Paolini, Penone, as well as on Artschwager, Bishop, Chamberlain, Jensen, Kelly, LeWitt, Marden, Agnes Martin, Ryman, Sandback, Shapiro, Tuttle, Weiner, and in particular on Richter and Schütte.
