John Armleder (born 1948, in Geneva) is a Swiss performance artist, painter, sculptor, critic, and curator. His work is based on his involvement with Fluxus in the 1960s and 1970s, when he created performance art pieces, installations and collective art activities that were strongly influenced by John Cage. However, Armleder's position throughout his career has been to avoid associating his artistic practice with any type of manifesto.
Armleder was born as the son of a hotelier (owners of Le Richemond). He studied at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts, Geneva (1966-7) and at the Glamorgan Summer School, Britain (1969).
In 1969, with Patrick Lucchini and Claude Rychner, Armleder founded the Groupe Ecart in Geneva, from which stemmed the Galerie Ecart and its associated performance group and publications. The Groupe Ecart was particularly important in Europe during the 1970s and 1980s, not only through its activity as an independent publishing house, but also because it introduced in Switzerland—and sometimes in Europe—a large number of notable artists, including Joseph Beuys and Andy Warhol. Armleder was later associated with Neo-Geo artistic movement and was often referred to as the "darling" of the New York art critics in this period (1980s).
Armleder frequently examines the context in which art is displayed and views the exhibition as a medium in its own right. Since the 1990s, he has created installations, paintings, wall paintings, sculptures and what he calls Furniture Sculptures—installations that usually juxtapose furniture with monochrome or abstract paintings, either literally on the furniture or on a canvas hanging nearby. His work has varied greatly in form, and has, since the beginning, used chance as a method of producing the final forms that pieces take, much like John Cage. He often uses a dense scenographic hanging style, putting individual works into close proximity and creating installation-like exhibitions.
In 2004, a retrospective exhibition of his works on paper was shown at the Kunsthalle Zürich, Switzerland, and later traveled to the ICA in Philadelphia. In the winter of 2006-2007, a large exhibition including works from all eras of his career was shown at the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (Mamco) in Geneva, Switzerland. In April 2013, the Dairy Art Centre in London opened its doors with a large solo show paying tribute to Armleder's oeuvre.
在1969年，與Patrick Lucchini和Claude Rychner合作，Armleder在日內瓦創立了Ece Group，從而製作了Galerie Ecart及其相關演出組和出版物。 20世紀70年代和80年代，“Ecart”小組在歐洲尤其重要，不僅通過作為獨立出版社的活動，而且還因為在瑞士而有時在歐洲引入了許多著名的藝術家，包括Joseph Beuys和Andy沃霍爾。後來，Armleder與Neo-Geo藝術運動相關聯，在這個時代（1980年代），經常被稱為紐約藝術評論家的“親愛的”。
Armleder經常檢查展示藝術的背景，並將展覽視為本身的媒介。自20世紀90年代以來，他創造了裝置，繪畫，壁畫，雕塑和他稱之為“家具雕塑”的設施，通常將家具與單色或抽象繪畫並排，這些裝置在家具上或掛在附近的畫布上。他的作品在形式上有很大的不同，而且從一開始就用機會作為製作最終形式的方法，就像John Cage一樣。他經常使用濃密的舞颱風格，將個人作品放在附近，並製作安裝式展覽。
2004年，他在瑞士的蘇黎世Kunsthalle展示了他在紙上的作品的回顧展覽，後來前往費城的ICA。在2006-2007年的冬天，在瑞士日內瓦的現代和當代藝術博物館（Mamco）展出了包括他職業生涯中的所有時代的大型展覽。 2013年4月，倫敦的乳製品藝術中心舉辦大型個展，向Armleder的作品致敬。
