DOMINIK STAUCH
Videos 2002–2015
Dominik Stauch ist einer der Pioniere interaktiver,
webbasierter Kunstprojekte (www.stau.ch) und arbeitete in den letzten Jahren an einer konsequenten «Erweiterung» seiner Malerei, indem er unterschiedlichste Medien (Ölmalerei, digitale Prints,
Computeranimationen, Installationen oder Skulpturen) kombinierte; dabei aber den Farb- und Formtheorien stets treu blieb. Kunstgeschichte, Literatur und
Musiktheorie des 20. Jahrhunderts bilden das nötige
Fundament, um seinen Arbeiten die vielschichtige
Tiefe zu geben. Nicht durcheinander wirbelnde Effekthascherei ist sein Thema, sondern wohlüberlegte, durchkomponierte Umsetzungen einer Idee.
Seine Videos bestechen einerseits durch klar durchdachte Geometrien und eine «genial-einfache»
Formensprache, andererseits durch zitierende, oft
ironische Sequenzen, in denen er selber als Hauptperson agiert. Oft unterstützt er die Arbeiten mit
Sound, etwa durch selbst komponierte und gespielte Musiksequenzen. Die Arbeiten werden so zu
optisch-akustischen, rhythmischen Umsetzungen
von geometrischen oder inhaltlichen Konzepten.
Manchmal sind sie ruhig und meditativ, manchmal
aggressiv oder nachdenklich stimmend.
Dominik Stauch, one of the pioneers of interactive, webbased art projects (www.stau.ch), has also put rigorous
effort into expanding the medium of painting. When
combining different media (oil painting, digital prints,
computer animation, installation or sculpture), he nevertheless remains true to theories of colour and form.
Art history, literature and 20th century music theory
constitute the essential components from which his
works draw their complex depth. Stauch is not interested
in causing higgeldy-piggeldy sensations, rather his main
concern lies in pursuing and implementing carefully
considered and composed ideas.
His videos captivate, on the one hand, by their well
thought out geometrical structures and ingeniously
simple vocabulary of forms, but also by sequences that,
often ironic-ally, make use of quotation and in which the
main character is played by the artist himself. Often his
works are accompanied by sound, for example sequences
of music Stauch composes and plays himself. His works
thus become optical-acoustic and rhythmic realisations
of geometrical as well as content-oriented concepts. Sometimes these are calm and meditative, sometimes aggressive and thought-provoking.
