Markus Müller
Markus Müller worked from 2th September until 29th September 2019 in the Gastatelier.
The artist Markus Müller, who grew up in Teufen, has returned to his home region to continue drawing research on furniture as a basic sculptural figure in the guest studio of the Sitterwerk.
Various drawings and watercolors have been created. For his research, Müller has also worked in the Art Library and traced forms of furniture and functions and side effects of design with a drawing pencil.
Last year, Markus Müller, who has lived in Basel for a long time, attracted attention with the percent for art project at the new building of the St. Leonhard school complex in St. Gallen. Three oversize sunglasses are incorporated in the open concrete structure of the schoolyard toward Pestalozzistrasse. The fragments of personal accessories rededicated in this way comment on questions of architecture and art in public space in a playful way.
The newly created furniture situations in his drawings also make reference to public space. The Sitterwerk therefore invites visitors to enter into conversation with Markus Müller about furnishings, public space, and exhibiting based on his drawing research.
