Born in Geneva in 1948, JOHN M ARMLEDER would make his first appearance on the artistic scene when, from 1961 onwards, he took part in the events organised by Fluxus. However his work is not identifiable with any one medium, procedure, formal style, or visual or aesthetic world and has always championing total freedom of expression and interpretation. Blurring the frontiers between a work and its surroundings, art and decoration, formal innovation and appropriation, he has made himself known in particular through the famous series of Furniture Sculptures (combining furniture, lamps or musical instruments with abstract, monochrome or geometric painting) as well as the many projects he has devised as an artist/exhibition curator.

Additionally JOHN ARMLEDER is widely known as the co-founder of the
Group Ecart, which has been endorsing the work of artists (CHRISTIAN
MARCLAY and KAREN KILMINIK among them) since the 1970s through its
publications, exhibitions and representation at art fairs.
And three good news:
– First, All of the Above. Carte blanche to John M Armleder is currently on view
at Palais de Tokyo in Paris through December 31st, 2011.
– Then 18 sculptures de verre soufflé by JOHN ARMLEDER is on view
at Galerie Pierre-Alain Challier in Paris until January 14th, 2012.
– Last but not least, Late, a show by ARMLEDER at Galerie Elisabeth & Klaus Thoman
in Innsbruck, Austria is on view until March 3rd, 2012. Enjoy!
