Heimo Zobernig’s contribution to the Venice Biennial responded directly to the existing exhibition situation in the Austrian Pavilion, built in 1934 based on plans by Josef Hoffmann and Robert Kramreiter. The Pavilion’s structure, with its rounded classical arches and majestic visual axes, on the one hand, and clear, rational forms and modern construction materials, on the other, moves between the poles of historicism and modernism. At the same time, Zobernig’s intervention connected inside and outside, to create an enclosed site where one can linger and reflect on human presence in space.

Stellproblemen (which means “set-problems”, and is purposely misspelled in German), is an artist book by Heimo Zobernig. Along with notions like alter ego, copy, dummy, imitation, mimicry, proxy, remake, substitution, and, of course, coincidence, the book addresses for the first time a central aspect of his work: the notion of repetition, which is inscribed into the very design of the book.
This comprehensive volume chronicles four decades of exhibitions held at the esteemed Antwerp-based art gallery, Galerie Micheline Szwajcer.
Throughout its illustrious history, the gallery has remained faithful to its artistic ethos while embracing innovation. This is evident in its dedication to featuring emerging talents, particularly those within the post-conceptual realm. Representing and working with artists such as On Kawara, Lawrence Weiner, Christopher Wool, Luciano Fabro, Ann Veronica Janssens, Dan Graham, Giovanni Anselmo, Lili Dujourie, Liam Gillick, and many more.
