"The heterogeneous punk spirit of Urs Fischer is in full threat in this catalog from his recent retrospective exhibition including many new works at Kunsthaus Zurich. All materials were considered fair game, and Fischer took every possible liberty in the museum space. He cut huge walk-through holes in the gallery walls and leaned the removed pieces on their edges in the rooms. He made burning wax sculptures, put obstacles on the ground, and hung a DANGER sign above it all. As curator Mirjam Varadinis says, 'the familiarity of everyday motifs is undermined in a process of metamorphosis that renders the work uncanny and even threatening.' Of course, a dose of humor, drawing upon the grotesque, informs the work as well. You can try to name influences, inspirations, and related artists such as Thek, Nauman, Barney, Fischli and Weiss, but Fischer is sui generis.".…

Brisbane : Koro Press & AndAlso Books, 2022. Quarto, illustrated gatefold wrappers, pp. 79, illustrated. New copy. 'Jon Molvig settled in Brisbane in the mid-1950s, where he became an influential creative presence and produced the most accomplished works of his career. In turn provocative, empathetic, taciturn, and vulnerable, he remains one of his generations least understood artists. Particularly recognised for highly charged, energetic paintings influenced by European expressionism, in the final decade of his life Molvig pursued sparser imagery, culminating in a series of canvasses ? The Tree of Man (1967-1968). Meticulously researched and richly illustrated, Jon Molvig: The Tree of Man Paintings examines the background and symbolism of this misunderstood bracket of works produced just prior to the artist?s premature death in 1970.' - the publisher. …

Softcover. Condition: Gut bis sehr gut. 1. Auflage. Z/B : 240 Seiten/pages, 180 color illustrations - Fully illustrated monograph, with three essays and a chronology. If Mirjam Varadinis recalls the different (and sometimes contradictory) traditions at the heart of Fischer's practice, she also analyzes the strategies he uses to engage with viewers : the exhibition Kir Royal is designed as a mental landscape with an impressive but disturbing visual impact, disturbing because the familiarity of everyday motifs is undermined in a process of metamorphosis that renders them uncanny and even threatening. One cannot, nor does the artist let us, escape the sense of unease that his works provoke. Shades of Bruce Nauman come to mind, and his idea of an art that puts you on an edge ; it forces you into a heightened awareness of yourself and the situation.' Urs Fischer's works are not likely to induce anxiety because they always contain a generous smattering of humor, but they do expose viewers to unexpected experiences.…
