SMS
Stefan Banz curated the Swiss pavilion at the 2005 Venice Biennale and is the founder and former artistic director of Kunsthalle Luzern. He has also had more than 10 solo shows of his own work in the last five years. His tongue-in-cheek title for this collection of photographs, "SMS, " refers to sex, mountains, and sunsets, and as that list suggests, it reads like a still love montage--dams coursing, couples kissing, and lots of butts.
Stefan Banz
The legendary boxing champion Muhammad Ali is at the center of artist Stefan Banz's photographic documentation of a unique project. During the artist's travels between 1999 and 2001, throughout more than a dozen European citites, Banz asked more than 350 people to adopt their favorite Muhammad Ali pose. Even though they were all imitating the same figure, not one of the depictions is alike, revealing much about the character of the individual--man, woman or child. This spontaneous street sparring developed as a new form of portrait photography; shown here are 63 images from the Ali series.
Marcel Duchamp
This is the first publication devoted exclusively to Marcel Duchamp's 'Pharmacie', the first rectified readymade in the history of art.
Tenderness and Temperature
Caroline Bachmann and Stefan Banz have designed a photographically pictorial artist's book which focuses on Berlin cemeteries. In a combination of photography and painting they consider the uniqueness of the park-like cemeteries in Berlin, which are used as leisure and recreational areas. Bachmann and Banz turn these places of melancholy and calm into an aesthetic experience by 'making emotions visible'.
Marcel Duchamp: Richard Mutt's Fountain
Stefan Banz rassemble des preuves et des documents jusqu'alors inconnus sur l'émergence, la disparition et la réception du célèbre readymade de Marcel Duchamp, Fontaine, et offre une perspective nouvelle sur cette œuvre qui apparaît comme la plus importante du XXe siècle. Stefan Banz examine en détail les cinq différentes répliques de Fountain réalisées en 1918, 1938, 1950, 1963 et 1964. Cette œuvre questionne la question de l'auteur et elle est posée pour la première fois dans l'histoire par des moyens artistiques. On découvre dans son étude que l'urinoir des deux photographies de Roché de 1918 n'est pas le même modèle que celui de la célèbre photographie de Stieglitz ...
One Rock Upon Another
In his captivating essays, the renowned Duchamp expert Stefan Banz explains, among other things...Why it was not Walter Hopps who mounted Duchamp's first solo exhibition in a public institution, but Max Bill...Or what exactly Joseph Beuys had misunderstood about Duchamp when he performed, The Silence of Marcel Duchamp is Overrated...Or how Fischli & Weiss appropriated Duchamp's unrealized idea for a work titled, Équilibre...Or that Ai Weiwei cites Duchamp in almost all his major works, and the tremendous influence that Jules Verne had on the artistic approach of this great avant-gardist...German, French and English text.
Jeff Wall
In his impressive analysis Stefan Banz examines how Jeff Wall uses camera, computer, actors and specialists to generate a visual performance that provokes epistemological questions in the viewer; illustrates how the artist - beyond avant-garde criteria - develops a sophisticated and engaging visual feel, which deals both with the everyday but also with the history of art; and explores meticulously how he reflects the role of the recipient in his compositions.In this sense, Banz shows with the eyes of an active observer how art has an inexhaustible metaphorical power for Wall, which enriches and upsets our visual concepts. And he also creates new, startling references between his photographic works and paintings by such different artists like Diego Velázquez, Jan Vermeer, Claude Monet, Frederic Remington, Hans Emmenegger, Marcel Duchamp and Salvador Dalí.
