Rolf Glasmeier: With Peace in Mind

Rolf Glasmeier (1945-2003) was an artist, graphic designer and exhibitions organiser who left an important mark on the art scene of the Ruhr region from the 1960s onwards. After training at the Ulm School of Design, he developed serial structures and audience participation. His interactive sculptures are intended to be touched and their configurations altered. In the 1970s, he adopted new materials and turned his attention to themes, such as mass consumption and recycling. His entire oeuvre was shaped by humanistic thought and the conviction that art could be a space in which society might be interrogated and changed. To mark the retrosperktive exhibition at Kunstmuseum Gelsenkirchen, this richly illustrated catalogue and its acopmanying essays comprehensively examine and honour Glasmeier's entire multimedia oeuvre - ranging from sculpture, photography and graphic art to actions within the public realm.
