DANIEL GÖTTIN

For over 30 years, the Swiss installation artist Daniel Göttin has been working in a reduced and strictly geometric language of horizontal and vertical lines. For his site-specific spatial interventions, installations, collages and objects, he uses ordinary materials such as adhesive tape, wood fiber, acrylic, aluminum or cement to sensitize us to the aesthetics of these “low” materials. In addition to his preferred textile and aluminum adhesive tapes, he often uses transparent adhesive tapes, which he stretches out into the open space. This creates energetically charged, independent architectural additions. Through these subtle interventions he makes the seemingly familiar visible and perceptible in a new way.
In 2012, works by Daniel Göttin were exhibited for the first time at the Galerie Wenger.
