Ringgummimatte

Zweifel, Micha

Regular price €28,00

“Micha Zweifel is an artist who works with what he finds in his surroundings: materials, concepts, and motifs—the flotsam of cultural remnants whose use, identity, or meaning have become unstable, but still shape where and how we live. Ringgummimatte is a montage of such “finds,” showing Zweifel’s work alongside photos and conversations from recent years. It features texts by artist and writer Sabrina Chou, journalist Michel Rebosura, writer and art historian Vivian Sky Rehberg, poet Lisa Robertson, curator Eveline Suter, as well as an email exchange between Christoph Zweifel and the artist. Writer and editor Matthew Stadler has captioned each image in the book with a quote from Zweifel’s library, forming a composition of what is adjacent to Zweifel’s work, like footsteps in a neighbors apartment. Ringgummimatte is a portrait of the metabolic relation between an art practice, its social context, and the conditions of its making.

With texts by Sabrina Chou, Michel Rebosura, Vivian Sky Rehberg, Lisa Robertson, Eveline Suter, Matthew Stadler, and Christoph Zweifel”, a catalogue with 120 full-colour illustrations, text in German and English, ring-bound with hard cover, 32 x 23,5 cm, 84 pages, Leipzig 2020
