Text in English and German

Robin Minard (b.1953) is a Canadian composer and installation artist belonging to the first generation of sound artists. With his permanent and temporary installations, he transforms public spaces, museums and galleries all over the world. Although working with high-tech equipment, his installations evoke impressions of natural growth and life. Acoustic compositions enhance the effect, filling his environments with a unique atmosphere. The viewer is captivated and simultaneously given a new perspective on his everyday surroundings, as well as on art, nature and technology.

This book is a special space. Although its main purpose may be to document several
specifc works -in this sense it fulfils the function of a catalogue, without having all
the characteristics of one, allowing the reader to recall or become aware of the works
present- this book is both in its objectives and in its realisation a truly authentic gesture by the artist Robin Minard. This book remains a book- it is not in itself a work
of art- but it constitutes one of the aspects of this artist's work. It arises out of his
working process.
