Works to show work
Lehmann, Ulrich (2013) Works to show work. In: Urs Fischer. Kiito-San.
- Details
This essay by Ulrich Lehmann was published in the exhibition catalogue accompanying Urs Fischer's solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, 21 April - 19 August 2013.
Urs Fischer provides an overview of the Swiss artist's heterogeneous oeuvre and features many of his best-known works. Designed and conceived by Fischer, the book is arranged thematically rather than chronologically, with clusters of works that allow the reader to observe how Fischer has explored disparate formal strategies to engage with his multifarious interests, which include gravity, architecture, shadows, representation, destruction, entropy and time, and revisit favorite motifs, such as furniture, fruit, animals, skeletons and other surrogates for his cardinal subject, the human body, over the past decade and a half.
The exhibition was curated by Jessica Morgan, Curator, International Art, Tate Modern, and the publication includes essays by Jeffrey Deitch, Jessica Morgan, and Ulrich Lehmann that unpack the dominant thematics in Fischer's work and examine the significance of the materials and production techniques in his sculptural practice.
