He was one of the co-founders of the F+F Schule f\u00fcr experimentelle Gestaltung in Zurich and known for his German translations of the works of Marcel Duchamp. Stauffer can be considered to have pioneered art as research.[1]Table of ContentsLife and work[edit]Selected works[edit]Editions and translations (selected)[edit]Articles, book contributions (selection)[edit]Literature[edit]External links[edit]References[edit]Life and work[edit]From 1952 to 1955, Stauffer trained as a photographer under Hans Finsler and Alfred Willimann at the Kunstgewerbeschule Z\u00fcrich KGSZ. During this period, he met his future wife Doris Stauffer-Kloetzer.Stauffer first became known for his German translation of Eug\u00e8ne Ionesco&#8217;s play The Bald Soprano, which premiered at the Klein-Theater Bern in 1956 (among other actors, its cast included Daniel Spoerri) and was published by Luchterhand in 1959.[2]As a photographer, Stauffer worked for Josef M\u00fcller-Brockmann\u2019s graphic design studio, before returning to the KGSZ in 1957 to teach photographics and experimental photography. From 1957 to 1964, he designed exhibitions, catalogs, and posters. Among other projects, he worked on Dokumentation \u00fcber Marcel Duchamp (1960), an exhibition organised by Max Bill at Zurich\u2019s Museum of Design.[3]Stauffer\u2019s early work includes the playful object Jardin public (1960), which was published as an edition at the Moderna Museet in Stockholm in 1961. In the period 1962\u20131964, he undertook comprehensive studies on optical illusions, which he called geometrical-optical illusions (g.o.t), using geometrical drawings and photogrammes.[4] From 1964 to 1965 Stauffer taught at the Bath Academy of Art, in Corsham, England.In 1964, Stauffer and Hansj\u00f6rg Mattm\u00fcller laid the foundation for an experimental arts class.  A year later, in 1965, the class opened its doors as the F+F (short for &#8220;Form und Farbe&#8221;, i.e., form and colour) at the KGSZ.[5] Following a move to abolish the F+F course on Teamwork, established by Doris Stauffer, and to introduce &#8220;unacceptable teaching conditions&#8221;, in March 1970 a council of students and teachers jointly decided to dissolve the F+F and to dismiss all teaching staff.[6]  Following this decision, Bendicht Fivian, Peter Gygax, Peter Jenny, Hansj\u00f6rg Mattm\u00fcller, Doris Stauffer, and Serge Stauffer established the F+F Schule f\u00fcr experimentelle Gestaltung, a privately run art school, in January 1971.[7] One of their rolemodels for a liberated art-education was the Summerhill School in Leiston, Suffolk, England.Tom Holert, the German art historian, has described how artists like Allan Kaprow, Nam June Paik, Asger Jorn, and the artist and philosopher Piero Simondo had been exploring possibilities for conducting artistic research since the 1950s and 60s.[8] Already while teaching at the KGSZ, Stauffer had started elaborating concepts for art as research. In 1968, he delivered a paper at the conference of the Schweizerische Werkbund (SWB) on the artist as researcher. In 1976, he presented his Thesen zu Kunst als Forschung [Theses on Art as Research] within the context of an F+F exhibition held in the lobby of the Kunsthaus Z\u00fcrich.[9] In 1978\u201379, Stauffer lectured on &#8220;Art as Research&#8221; at the Department of Art History of the University of Zurich. In 1981, he published an essay on &#8220;Art as Research&#8221; in the book Genie gibt\u2032s \u2013 Die siebziger Jahre an der F&#038;F Schule f\u00fcr experimentelle Gestaltung.[10]From 1956 to 1967, Stauffer entered into a lengthy correspondence with Marcel Duchamp, whose work he explored in great detail. His extensive research on Duchamp led to the publication in 1973 of the book Ready Made \u2013 180 Ausspr\u00fcche aus Interviews mit Marcel Duchamp. This was followed in 1981 by Die Schriften \u2013 Zu Lebzeiten ver\u00f6ffentlichte Texte mit \u00fcbersetzten und faksimilierten Texten von Marcel Duchamp, which Stauffer co-edited with Theo Ruff. The volume Marcel Duchamp: Interviews und Statements was published posthumously in 1992.[11]Stauffer maintained a lifelong friendship with the Swiss artist and poet Andr\u00e9 Thomkins, which resulted in an extensive correspondence. Their friendship is documented in Thomkins\u2019s monograph Oh! Cet Echo! (1985).[12]Serge and Doris Stauffer\u2019s estate is housed at Swiss National Library in Bern, Serge Stauffer&#8217;s studies on Duchamp at the Duchamp Cabinet in the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart. His life and work, and his reflections on  &#8220;Art as Research&#8221;, are the subject of a research project launched in 2011 at the Institute of Contemporary Art Research of Zurich University of the Arts (ZHdK).[13] Based on this research project the exhibition &#8220;Serge Stauffer \u2013 Kunst als Forschung&#8221; opened at Helmhaus Z\u00fcrich (2013).Selected works[edit]ca. 1955, Post Card \u2013 ready made in Europe, photographic postcards1961, Jardin public, playing cards\u2019 edition, Edition by Moderna Museet Stockholm1962\u201364, geometrisch-optische T\u00e4uschungen (g.o.T.), artistic studies1968, b-room, graphic print editionca. 1980, an einem ohr blind, projekt einer weltsprache, card gameA list of works was published in &#8220;Helmhaus Z\u00fcrich (ed.): Serge Stauffer, Kunst als Forschung, Zurich: Scheidegger &#038; Spiess Edition, 2013, pp.287\u2013301&#8221;.[14]Editions and translations (selected)[edit]Eug\u00e8ne Ionesco: Die kahle S\u00e4ngerin.
