         Pine trees have long been a leitmotif of John Armleder’s object based work. Culturally over-determined, they are both symbols of Teutonic nature and Christian charity. Here, Armleder’s tree speaks the kitschy language of consumerism – the endless Christmas of a gift that won’t stop giving.

            John Armleder (born in Geneva in 1948) 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.
