1957 – An HET ANDRE BEHR PAMFLET by Andreas Züst
News
Hands-on
Since fall 2018, I work with Prof. Christoph Schenker and Michael Günzburger for the Institute for Contemporary Art Research IFCAR/ZHdK on the SNF research project „Hands-on“ on documenting and conveying artistic-technical processes in print.
The project will run until 2021, details follow.
Pursuit of Wonders
Andreas Züst worked for ETH Zurich in Greenland in the early 1970s as part of the North Water project. From this research stay until his untimely death in 2000, the artist photographed ice in its most diverse forms, wherever he encountered them. A selection from this extensive collection, edited by me and designed by Studio Krispin Heé, is now appearing as a publication, supplemented by texts by the filmmaker Peter Mettler, the cultural scientist Verena Kuni and the artists Jimena Croceri and Sarina Scheidegger.
„Pursuit of Wonders“ was published by Edition Patrick Frey this August.
Eis
Andreas Züst photographed ice in its most diverse forms throughout his life. Taking this as a starting point, I am working with the Kunstmuseum Luzern to create a monothematic exhibition on the theme. At the centre of the exhibition are four slide projections assembled by the artist and labelled „Eis“ (Ice), supplemented by photographs from research stays in Greenland in the early 1970s and other supplementary materials.
Opening of the exhibition at the Kunstmuseum Luzern: 21 August 2020
Duration of the exhibition: 22 August to 22 November 2020
Mini-Zine-Library
From this October on, the Mini-Zine-Library is again on tour. With the Schule Im Widmer, Langnau am Albis, Habib Afsar and I will make zines and work on a mural newspaper, all autumn long.
The project is part of kulturagent.innen für kreative Schulen.

Born in 1976, Mara Züst lives with her family in Zurich. She holds a diploma in Design (Visual Communication FH/Theorie der Gestaltung und Kunst, ZHdK), a Masters in Art History with a minor in Modern History from the University of Zurich and a CAS Arts and International Cooperation (ZHdK).

The central element of my work relates to developing original concepts for artistic and cultural endevours. These are mostly in the form of texts, books, exhibitions, literary events and workshops or a combination of them. To realize these concepts into the diverse forms they take, I work closely with professionals from various fields such as visual communication, photography, computer programming as well as the arts, and crafts like printings and wood work. Thematically, my interests are diverse and range from an aesthetic exploration of mundane phenomenons to artistic researches on book design and printing techniques, as well as the work of individual artists or designers.
