This unique book, developed in collaboration with the artists, includes contributions from writers, leading critics, commentators, artists and film-makers. Several texts have been specifically commissioned for this project, and others are here made available in English for the first time. This book accompanies a major retrospective exhibition. Featuring over 200 colour illustrations in layouts designed by the artists Fischli and Weiss themselves, this is the most thorough survey to date of the career of these two fascinating artists.
