Pavel Pepperstein, Who Was Born In 1966 And Is One Of The Internationally Best-Known Artists And Authors Of Russia’S Younger Generation, Represents An Important Link Between The Elder Exponents Of Moscow Conceptualism And The Young Artists Of His Homeland. While Working On An Unusual Collection Project For The Kunsthaus Zug In Switzerland From 1998 To 2002, He Invited Selected Russian Guests To Take Part In Exhibitions: Inspection “Medical Hermeneutics” (1998), Viktor Pivovarov (1999), Russland And Viktor Mazin (2000), And Boris Groys And Ilya Kabakov (2001). Zug Thus Became A Meeting Place For Russian Artists And Their Friends As Well As An Increasingly Interested And Enthusiastic Audience – An Excellent Example Of Sustainable Cultural Exchange. Pepperstein Painted Murals Directly On The Museum Walls, Usually Without Preliminary Sketches, Creating Brilliant Pictures That Were Painted Over After Each Show. As Part Of The Museum’S Expanded Collection, Permanent Murals Were Painted In A Local Schoolhouse, A Bank, And A Prison And Opened To The Public. Swiss Photographer Guido Baselgia Documented The Successful Project Over A Period Of Five Years. Following Publications On Tadashi Kawamata And Richard Tuttle, This Is The Third Book Published By Hatje Cantz In The Collection Project Series For The Kunsthaus Zug.
