Add to basketNeuware - First Cuts zeigt 15 fotografische Appropriationen des Künstlers Harald F. Müller, die zum ersten Mal in Zürich im von Gigon/Guyer geplanten Prime Tower, dem höchsten Gebäude der Schweiz, verwirklicht wurden. Auf schallschluckenden Metalltafeln mittels eines Lochrasters an Innenwänden des Gebäudes realisiert, beschäftigen sich die re-fotografierten Motive inhaltlich mit erstmaligen Ereignissen, mit technischen, sportlichen und kulturellen Höchstleistungen. Sie thematisieren die Fortschritts- nostalgie und verweisen zugleich auf aktuellste Forschung und zeitlose Modernität. Die Arbeiten verweigern sich der passiven dekorativen Funktion, setzen vielmehr eine eigenständige architekturbezogene These. Diesem Prinzip folgt das Buch, indem es kosmologische Bezüge herstellt und sich als unabhängiges Werk präsentiert, statt zu erläutern und zu illustrieren. Die Beiträge von Gerd Blum und Johan Frederik Hartle beschreiben die First Cuts im Zusammenhang der Werkentwicklung Harald F. Müllers und konzentrieren sich auf Abstraktion und Atomismus.

First Cuts shows 15 photographic appropriations that artist Harald F. Müller realized for the first time in Switzerland’s tallest building: the Prime Tower in Zürich, designed by architects Gigon/Guyer. Applied by means of a perforated grid onto sound absorbing metal panels on the building’s interior walls, the re-photographed motifs depict a series of 'firsts' from the worlds of technology, sports, and culture. Evoking nostalgia for human faith in progress, they also point with their references to CERN and Constructivism to cutting-edge research and timeless modernity. These artworks refuse to fufill merely a passive decorative function, making instead their own architecture-related statement. The book follows the same principle by invoking cosmological references and presenting itself as an independent work rather than merely explaining and illustrating. Essays by Gerd Blum and Johan Frederik Hartle describe the role First Cuts played in the development of Harald F. Müller’s oeuvre, focusing on abstraction and atomism.
