Peter Fischli David Weiss: How to Work Better
The retrospective will demonstrate the intricate interrelationships among Fischli and Weiss’s seemingly discrete works in sculpture, photography, installation, and video, each of which they used to confront, examine, and lampoon the seriousness of high art. In particular it will establish a sustained dialogue between Fischli and Weiss’s work with the moving image and their sculptural practice, with signature works like Suddenly This Overview (1981–2012), the hundreds of unfired clay sculptures that pillory established truths and myths alike, and The Way Things Go (1987), the inane filmic study of causational activity, appearing as leitmotifs throughout the space.
