Abstract

Les répliques de biens de consommation que les artistes zurichois Peter Fischli et David Weiss se sont mis à exécuter dès 1991 oscillent entre une superficialité, dont Fredric Jameson a fait un trait définitoire du postmodernisme, et un épaississement matériel propre aux choses. Ces images d’artefacts, dont on ne peut attendre aucun des services que rendent leurs modèles, nous ramènent pourtant constamment à la lente fréquentation d’objets dans l’usage quotidien qui informe notre vie. S’attachant à examiner la place qu’elles occupent dans l’histoire de l’art contemporain et à décrire notamment la relation qu’elles entretiennent avec les productions artistiques, littéraires, théoriques des années 1960, ce livre est aussi bien une réflexion sur le temps, tel que les œuvres le construisent.

Abstract

From 1979 to 2012, Swiss artists Peter Fischli and David Weiss created a remarkable body of photographs, films, sculptures, and multimedia instalations, offering a sustained and deceptively casual meditation on how we perceive everyday life. Published to accompany the exhebition at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, collaboration, augmented by hundreds of archival images, notes on process, and interview excerpts culled from their archives. A series of probing essays on the artists' practice and thematic concerns rounds out this definitive account of Fischli and Weiss's vital contribution to contemporary art.

Abstract

Plötzlich diese Übersicht by the Swiss artists Peter Fischli (b. 1952) and David Weiss (1946-2012), a loose collection of over 350 hand-sculpted, unfired clay figures, is one of those artworks that is very familiar even to those who are not all that interested in art. The artists have created a masterpiece, using an entirely unspectacular material to form sculptural snapshots that sparkle with cheerful wit : sketched models of everyday situations and objects ; clay reproductions that reveal the absurdity and artificial normality of the ordinary. Alongside them are semi-freely imagined scenes and events from history, culture, entertainment, sport and assorted memories from their own biographies, immortalised in emblematic scenarios. The titles, with their characteristic subtle mockery, fragmentary encyclopaedic knowledge and serious irony, are an integral part of the work.
