Beat Zoderer
About the 11th edition of «neue räume»
The well-known Swiss artist Beat Zoderer designs the key visual of the International Interior Design Exhibition. He is also showing some of his latest works as part of a special exhibition. Beat Zoderer (*1955 in Zurich) has been working as an independent artist since 1979. Scholarships from the city of Zurich were followed by two studio scholarships for Genoa in 1986 and New York in 1988. In 1995 he was awarded the Manor Art Prize and in 1998 he received an award from the Max Bill/Georges Vantongerloo Foundation Zumikon.
His current solo exhibitions include «Visuelle Interference» at Kunsthalle Weisshaupt in Ulm, Germany, in 2021 and «Less and More» at Museum Voorlinden in Wassenaar, Netherlands, in 2022. With his distinctive objects, paintings and installations, Beat Zoderer is one of the leading artists on the Swiss art scene and has made a name for himself internationally. Inconspicuous everyday objects and materials from the hardware store form the components from which he combines his filigree works. PVC, building boards, rubber bands, metal strips, or poured-out Styrofoam balls merge into radical optical structures, which, upon closer inspection, surprise the viewer with their seemingly effortless lightness. Playing with the questioning of visual conventions makes his art surprising and winning.
In the context of «neue räume 22» works such as paintings and sculptures are on display.
