EXHIBITIONS

TRIGON BIENNALE is an important European Biennial in Graz which is part of the famous STEIRISCHER HERBST, a very international, annual cultural event, including art, music, theatre, dance, which in the core was the first biennial reuniteing Eastern-European, at the time communist countries with Middle Europeen and Western European countries. Martin Kunz was called as commissioner of it from 1981- 1989 with the mission to nominate young Swiss but also other European artists who had no commissioner, as a kind of wild card. The themes like the one 1983 was discussed and defined a year ahead. Not many commisioners were nominated so many times in a row. This time he proposed with the thema the three Swiss artists (Emery, Keller, Müller) and Richard Deacon as a British sculptor who first showed internationally in Lucerne (1982) and later proposed British critic Mark Francis as writer, who in later Trigons was commissioner for Britain.

MK presented Swiss artists Matteo Emery, Pierre Keller, Josef Felix Müller, and British artist Richard Deacon
