Publisher Note

From 1999 to 2003 the Zurich art historian Peter Stohler used his 40 square metre apartment at Röntgenstrasse in Zurich as a project space. In addition to ten exhibitions, a large number of events took place. This publication documents four intensive years of Roentgenraum.
“Kunst im Un-Privaten” is an attractive and handy book that can be read in two directions. From back to front, a detailed series of pictures shows the atmosphere in the X-ray room. From front to back, the publication offers plenty of reading material: in their essay, Peter Stohler and Daniel Walser roll up the history of (semi-)public art in private spaces and place the Roentgenraum project in a larger context. The publication is supplemented by interviews with all ten artists who have presented installations in the Roentgenraum.
