PETER FISCHLI / DAVID WEISS :
EINE ANSAMMLUNG VON GEGENSTANDEN
Set in a nondescript garage on the outskirts of Saanen, Peter Fischli and David Weiss’ accumulation of objects is an archeology of thirty years of work together. Handcrafted out of Polyurethane foam the objects themselves are cast-offs, both in the sense of being divorced from utility they propose and a Salon des Refusés of the artist’s previous endeavors. Out of the perfectly calibrated mess emerges a portrait, as precise in its description of an era as it is a state of mind or being.
