Internationally acclaimed Swiss artist John Armleder fuses genres and media; he borrows influences from modernist art, modern design, constructivism, art deco, minimalism, op art, music, and film. The resulting images, sculptures, and installations often involve the viewer's active participation; his art is as much experienced as it is viewed. This comprehensive book charts Armleder's career with an interview, an analytical retrospective text, and 150 images, which presents the artist's eclectic output from his early work to his current projects. Armleder's work is widely exhibited in international galleries and museums. He recently curated the exhibition "None of the Above" (winter 2004-05) at the Swiss Institute of Contemporary Art in New York. A solo exhibition of his work opened in May 2005 at the Cosmic Galerie in Paris.

Louis Thomas Jérôme Auzoux (1797-1880), a French doctor and naturalist, invented anatomical (and botanical) papier-mâché models that were widely distributed in the 19th and 20th centuries.This book presents a series of works by John Armleder based on these models, which he acquired partly by accident, and somewhat mischievously.In an interview with Mai-Thu Perret included in this volume, we come to understand that it not so much the educational or iconographical dimension of these objects that the artist wished to reproduce, but rather the cascade of references to questions, technical as much as abstract or material, and also linked to figuration.Armleder therefore addresses questions of reproduction, displacement, and meaning, always in their multiple shifts, contradictions, and bifurcations.
