Description
Painting, collage, cover designs for music label ECM, photographic transformations, and architectural interventions: Swiss artist MAYO's multifaceted oeuvre
Swiss artist MAYO-born 1963 in Zurich as Mayo Guy Robert Bucher-has over three decades created a wide-ranging body of work that has been exhibited internationally and garnered wide recognition. At the core of his practice is the relationship between image and space. Through painting, collage, photographic transformation, architectural interventions, and in curatorial projects, MAYO translates real places into multilayered pictorial spaces and opens new perspectives on perception and spatial experience.
MAYO: The Project is the first major book on his art in more than 20 years. It offers an engaging cross-section of the various genres and groups of works and spans MAYO's entire career. Numerous illustrations are supplemented with essays and contributions by scholar and author Elisabeth Bronfen, curator Sabine Schaschl, architect Remo Halter Casagrande, graphic designer Ina Bucher, founder of the renowned music label ECM Manfred Eicher, and by MAYO himself.
Elisabeth Bronfen ist emeritierte Professorin für englische und amerikanische Literatur an der Universität Zürich und Global Distinguished Professor an der New York University. Sie ist Autorin zahlreicher einflussreicher Bücher.
Mayo Bucher , geboren 1963, hat an der damaligen Kunstgewerbeschule in Zürich (heute Zürcher Hochschule der Künste ZHdK) und bei Maria Lassnig an der Universität für angewandte Kunst Wien studiert. Er widmet sich mit seinem Bruder auch intensiv der Pflege der Nachlässe seiner Mutter, der Schweizer Avantgardekünstlerin Heidi Bucher (1926-1993), sowie seines Vaters, des Bildhauers und Humanisten Carl Bucher (1935-2015).
