Beruhrung im Entzug: Struktur, Temporalitat und Haptik des malerischen Handelns an den fruhen Strukturreliefs Gunther Ueckers - Notizen zu Uecker

The series Notizen zu Uecker publicizes the research of GUI fellowship holders. In Nick Böhnke's study Berührung im Entzug. Struktur, Temporalität und Haptik des malerischen Handelns an den frühen Strukturreliefs Günther Ueckers for volume 3 of the series, the concept of 'action' is expanded to incorporate the artist's painterly approaches up until the 1960s.

The author examines aspects of the relief in Uecker's work, in the intermediate field of image and performativity and paying particular attention to the social upheaval during those years. The focus is on the significance of touching and grasping, on the sensual and tactile moments in the creation of Uecker's now iconic works.
