Heimo Zobernig has been viewed as a key figure on the Austrian art scene since the early 1980s. The Kunsthalle Zürich launched its exhibition season at the Museum Bärengasse with Zobernig's solo exhibition ohne Titel (in Red).In keeping with the rooms in the buildings of the Museum Bärengasse the works selected for presentation focused on the topics of 'furnishing' and 'light', and played with the domesticated interior of the former residential buildings.Zobernig submerged the exhibition spaces in red light with his work ohne Titel produced in 1994. By doing so, concepts such as 'display', 'installation', 'setting up', and 'representation', as well as 'site-specificity' for the idiosyncratic context of the spaces, were put up for discussion and confronted with the traditional understanding of the installation.This publication attempts to transform the exhibition, treated as a retrospective it showed a cross-section of Zobernig's artistic oeuvre from 1985 to the present into book form.Published with Kunsthalle Zürich.
