Full Description

Swiss artist MAYO—born 1963 in Zurich as Mayo Guy Robert Bucher—has over three decades created a wide-ranging body of work that has been exhibited internationally and garnered wide recognition. At the core of his practice is the relationship between image and space. Through painting, collage, photographic transformation, architectural interventions, and in curatorial projects, MAYO translates real places into multilayered pictorial spaces and opens new perspectives on perception and spatial experience.

MAYO: The Project spans his entire career, offering an engaging cross-section of the various genres of his art. Numerous illustrations are supplemented with essays and contributions by scholar and author Elisabeth Bronfen, curator Sabine Schaschl, architect Remo Halter Casagrande, graphic designer Ina Bucher, founder of the renowned music label ECM Manfred Eicher, and by MAYO himself.

Text in English and German.
