An evening with Jean-Remy von Matt.
Insights after 5 decades in the creative industry.

Neues Kunstmuseum Tübingen, Schaffhausenstraße 123, 72072 Tübingen

Jean-Remy was born in Brussels in 1952, grew up in Zurich, and has lived in Germany since 1975, currently in Berlin.

He spent nearly five decades as a creative in various advertising agencies. In 1991, he founded the agency Jung von Matt with his partner Holger Jung, which soon became one of the largest independent agencies in Europe. For decades, their agency was considered the most creative in Germany and was repeatedly named “Independent Agency of the Year” at the Cannes Lions. In 2020, he began working with conceptual art. Soon he had his first exhibitions in museums and galleries.

His best-known works to date, which have been discussed in numerous publications, are his lifetime installations, with which he makes our transience visible and thus conscious. As early as 2002, Jean-Remy developed a lifetime clock for himself.

In 2022, he then presented his first lifetime sculpture Carpe Vitam Clock. As a creative mind, he is far more fascinated by the shapeable future than by the already completed past. Therefore, our life expectancy is one of his favorite topics.
