Stardust, Michael Beutler

Taking as its starting point a new site-specific installation being developed by Michael Beutler for his exhibition at the Wilhelm-Hack-Museum, this publication is an up-to-date compilation of recent works by the artist. His drawings and models are also presented here for the first time, providing us with a more detailed sense of the complex process by which his works come into being. Taking a perspective derived from New Materialism, the texts focus on the way materiality manifests in Beutler’s work, informing a conceptual approach that links together themes like sustainability, utopian models of life and work, improvisation, and random chance.
