When summer comes again, the lawnmowers set off on their rounds. The same is true in the Kunsthaus Zug – within a well-defined space, measured out by a robot lawnmower on the bare floor. Where there’s a lawnmower but no lawn, Roman Signer can’t be far away. 2019 will see the second large-scale solo exhibition devoted to him since 2009, and it will take place in the exhibition spaces of the Kunsthaus and beyond it. It signifies a further step in a long-standing collaboration. «Seesicht» («Lake View»), Signer’s architectonic sculpture that stands prominently in the basin of Lake Zug, has become a landmark of the city.
Thanks to generous donations by Christine Kamm, her husband Peter, and the artist himself, the Kunsthaus Zug is proud to own the most comprehensive collection of Signer’s works. This exhibition is thus part of the “Project: Collection” by which the Kunsthaus Zug engages in long-standing collaborations with international artists, far removed from any monetary incentives.
