Michael Müller. Ernstes Spiel. Catalogue Raisonné (Gebunden/Hardback) von Hubertus von Amelunxen

Volume 7.1 of Michael Müllers catalogue raisonné is the first volume highlighting the artists activity as a curator. It focuses on the exhibition series Deine Kunst at the Städtische Galerie Wolfsburg, which he curated from 2019-22. This series comprised a novel presentation of the collection, as well as being an artistic intervention. In 2019, Müller had been invited to make a personal selection from the Städtische Galeries collection and present the works to the public over the next few years. The artist and curator decided against staging a single exhibition; instead, he elected to present the collection in five successive versions and changing contexts, each focusing on different content and form. The individual versions were somewhat eccentric, and Müller staged them in a way extremely suggestive of an artwork - the curator even gradually transformed the exhibition spaces, down to the smallest detail.

Michael Müller (*1970, Ingelheim) setzt sich in seinem künstlerischen Werk mit der Ästhetik und Bildwerdung komplexer Gedankenprozesse auseinander. Seine großformatigen Gemälde, Zeichnungen, Installationen und Skulpturen, an denen er über mehrere Monate hinweg arbeitet, werden international ausgestellt. Von 2015 bis 2018 lehrte er als Professor an der Universität der Künste zu Berlin
