"I've forgotten to feed the cat", "I haven’t got a cat". These phrases are displayed in illuminated letters above the Kunsthaus Zug courtyard wall. They welcome visitors, encourage them to reflect and, last but not least, to smile. How is it possible that someone has "forgotten to feed the cat"? And receives the answer: "I don't have a cat". Are we witnessing a dialogue or a self-talk? Between the simple phrases, a story unfolds that can be rethought again and again. The humorous light installation by renowned Welsh conceptual artist Bethan Huws (*1961) is part of the Kunsthaus Zug collection. As a gift for the 30th anniversary of the Kunsthaus, it has been glowing at Dorfstrasse 27 in Zug since 20 December 2020. The blue neon letters will draw the eye upwards along the Kunsthaus wall and connect the public space with the museum - an endeavour that the Kunsthaus has been pursuing since the 1990s with works such as "ist wird" by Heinz Gappmayr on the north side of the Kunsthaus wall and the wooden walkway by Tadashi Kawamata. Bethan Huws and the Kunsthaus Zug have a longstanding collaboration in which the artist, who lives in Berlin and Paris, explores the region and the Kunsthaus Zug collection. In her work "I've forgotten to feed the cat, I haven’t got a cat", she focusses on language, the central theme of her work. How does language create identity, how does it connect people? And where are the limits of understanding? Where does it have a sensual effect? The permanent work was made possible by contributions from the Kamm Collection Foundation and the Foundation of the Friends of Kunsthaus Zug.
