Inhaltsangabe

Peter Fischli (born 1952) and David Weiss (1946–2012) collaborate to transform the stuff of ordinary life into a series of quizzical, whimsical, even disquieting encounters. Fascinated with unconventional subject matter and material, Fischli and Weiss toy with the idea of "high art," questioning popular narratives and movements in art and cultural history. <i>Peter Fischli David Weiss </i>presents an in-depth survey of the artists’ work from 1979 through 2012, drawn exclusively from Glenstone’s collection. The volume includes rubber and clay sculptures, photographic series including <i>Equilibres (A Quiet Afternoon)</i> and <i>Sausage Series</i>, digital slides such as <i>Airports </i>and <i>Flowers and Mushrooms</i>, stills from their acclaimed video <i>The Way Things Go</i> and the most recent iteration of their alter egos, <i>Rat and Bear</i>. Also reproduced is the artists’ most ambitious polyurethane installation, <i>The Objects for Glenstone</i>, and <i>Questions</i>, a slide installation of over 400 handwritten existential queries such as "Is the Devil a cheerful person?" and "Will happiness find me?" which won the Golden Lion Prize at the 2003 Venice Biennale.
