About The Artwork

Corona zwingt mich zu neuen Themen. Covid schläft, er erwacht bei Berührung. 1511 hat Michelangelo an die Decke der Sixtinischen Kapelle gemalt, wie der Funke des Lebens den ersten Menschen erweckt… die Erschaffung Adams durch die Berührung von Gottes Finger. Heute verstehen wir die Berührung als Metapher: Berührung ermöglicht die den Tod bringende Übertragung des Virus. In „normalen“ Zeiten beklagen wir manchmal, dass die Menschen sich fremd werden, anonym leben. Alle sind in ihre Lebenssituationen eingespannt, in ihren Werkstätten, Fabriken, Büros und in ihren Autos, in ihren Städten. Die Jugend kämpft dagegen an, gegen die Anonymität, gegen die Einsamkeit, sie versucht, dem menschlichen, dem persönlichen, den Vorrang zu geben. Vielleicht ist die Jugend deshalb so uneinsichtig, was die covid-Berührungen angeht. Aber heute können wir nur überleben, wenn wir auf die sonst lebenswichtigen Berührungen verzichten. Die Berührung ist zur lebensgefährlichen, Leben vernichtenden Handlung geworden. Daran soll unser schlafender Covid hier erinnern. Corona forces me to new topics. Covid sleeps, he wakes up when touched. In 1511 Michelangelo painted on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel how the spark of life awakens the first man ... the creation of Adam through the touch of God's finger. Today we understand touch as a metaphor: Touch enables the deadly transmission of the virus. In “normal” times we sometimes complain that people become strangers to each other and live anonymously. Everyone is caught up in their life situations, in their workshops, factories, offices and in their cars, in their cities. The youth fights against it, against anonymity, against loneliness, they try to give priority to the human, the personal. Maybe that's why the youth are so stubborn when it comes to covid touches. But today we can only survive if we forego the otherwise vital touch. Touching has become a life-threatening, life-destroying act. Our sleeping Covid should remind of this.

Guenter Rauch is a German artist. his works move between sculpture, drawings, painting and outdoor art projects and take a critical look at the relationships between humans and nature. I was born in the year one after the great war (1946) and have largely lived and worked in and near Kempten im Allgäu, Bavaria. I came to professional art late. 1997 the first exhibition of paintings and objects. Numerous exhibitions with paintings and drawings followed. From 2009 on, turning to outdoor / landart projects with art trails and (peace) installations. Start of the project "PORTA ALPINAE Open the door to another world". A wooden gate symbolizes the transition to another world. 30 installations on German, Austrian, Swiss and Italian mountains generate great media interest. Several documentaries in large TV formats and international press reports. Always accompanying the painting, drawings and objects.
