The research project Archives of research based art focused on personal archives by artists with a research based practice.
Building on the experiences with the research project on the archives by Serge Stauffer, this research project focused on personal archives by artists with a research based practice. There was a focus on the founding years of the F+F School in Zurich.
The archive by the artist Peter Trachsel (1949–2013) could made accessible at Staatsarchiv Graubünden, the Bündner Kunstmuseum Chur did show an exhibition (2018) and Michael Hiltbrunner realized the monograph Peter Trachsel - wir muten Ihnen alles zu (2018), published by Scheidegger & Spiess. The archive of the journalist, media theorist and artist Robert A. Fischer (1942–2001) could be placed at Zentralbibliothek Zürich. The archive by the artist and co-founder of the F+F School Hansjörg Mattmüller (1923–2006) could be placed at the archive of the ZHdK and made accessible together with them. For the artist Liliane Csuka (*1935) a documentation of her work was realized. The exhibition on Marcel Duchamp (1887–1968) at Staatsgalerie Stuttgart based on the Duchamp-archive by Serge Stauffer and was realized with scientific advise from the project. The archive by the artist and co-founder of the F+F School Doris Stauffer (1934–2017) could be secured.
