Marianne Mueller
Landis & Gyr Stiftung Residency
2009
Marianne Mueller is a Zurich-based artist, mostly working with objects, photography, video, and books. She collects observations of quotidian environments that she recontextualizes in her works, often in reaction to the specific site of an exhibition. Installation, camouflage and “anti monumentality” are central themes in her work.
Marianne is a professor at the Zurich University of the Arts. Her publications include A Part of My Life (1998), The Flock (2004), The Proper Ornaments (2008), Stairs Etc. (2014), and The Book of Complaints and Suggestions (2020).
