Luca Frei – Thursday Followed Wednesday and Tuesday Followed Monday and There Was Sunday and There Was Saturday and There Was Friday
Frei questions and revisits ideas and speculations about modernist forms. Rather than offering new interpretations and meanings, Frei‘s multi-faceted works and their arrangement in space follow a line of open-ended, associative, even participatory possibilities. The book introduces Frei’s work in a similarly intertwined structure: six authors that have shared a long-term dialogue with the artist shed a personal light on Frei’s practice from different angles. The book’s somewhat extravagant title is borrowed from a novel by the American writer and poet Gertrude Stein. It relates to matters of time and change, of shifting perspectives that are central to Frei‘s work.
Following the exhibitions at Bonner Kunstverein and Kunsthaus Glarus in 2012 and 2013, this is the first monograph dedicated to the Swiss artist Luca Frei (b. 1976). Co-edited by Fanny Gonella, Christina von Rotenhan, Sabine Rusterholz Petko.
