"Peter Fischli (born 1952) and David Weiss (1946-2012) are celebrated around the world for their multidisciplinary projects, films, sculptures and books. The two artists began producing their "Polyurethane Objects" in 1982, and continued until Weiss tragically died in 2012 from cancer. Hand-carved and hand-painted, these sculptural works overturn the notion of the readymade while uncovering wit and poetry in everyday things. Edited and s ..."

"Seit 1987 verbindet die Galerie Bruno Bischofberger Werbung für ihr Galerieprogramm mit Bildern urschweizerischen Lebens - eine Montage aus Kontrasten, die lokale Traditionen dem kosmopolitischen Selbstverständnis eines globalisierten Kunstbetriebs gegenüberstellt. Seit etwa 30 Jahren erscheint die Werbestrecke parallel in den Kunstzeitschriften Artforum und Kunstbulletin mit großem Wiedererkennungswert."
""800 Views of Airports "documents a lengthy series of work by Peter Fischli (born 1952) and David Weiss (1946-2012), comprising 1,010 photographs to date, all of which appear here complete for the first time. For this ongoing documentary project, the artistic duo photograph the airports they passed through in their travels around the world over nearly 25 years, in a quest for exotic banality throughout different cultures. Their images o ..."
"Long before Peter Fischli and David Weiss made "Fotografias," Nancy Spector had noted that the two liked to "undermine conventional distinctions between high and low art." This collection of underexposed black-and-white images does exactly that, recreating low-end figurative paintings as muddy, dark, snapshots and minting them anew as fine art. Subjects include landscapes and historical scenes, animal and mythological beings, and, yes, ..."
"An artist's book by the renowned Swiss duo dedicated to the questions that everyone asks themselves once in a while: Can something be unbelievable? Should I get drunk? Could I be Japanese? Is the freedom of birds overrated? Am I a farmer in winter? Does unease grow by itself? Should I crawl into my bed and stop producing things all the time?"
"This volume is a reprint of the magnificent and rare artist's book by the Swiss duo Peter Fischli (born 1952) and David Weiss (1946-2012). Bursting with luscious color and consisting of multiple superimposed images, these photographs by Fischli/Weiss (dubbed "the Nichols and May of contemporary art" by "The New York Times" for their critically admired brand of humor) navigate the fine line between beauty and kitsch. For this series, mad ..."
"A multi-generational selection of 31 artists was invited to contribute work for this 50th anniversary issue of "Jahresring," the Cologne journal of art criticism. After 49 issues dealing in various aspects of art criticism, the editors decided it was time to let art itself take the limelight. Artists such as Fischli and Weiss, Rosemarie Trockel, Richard Artschwager, Diana Thater, On Kawara, Ellen Gallagher, Wolfgang Tillmans, and Gerhar ..."
"In 2017, for the first time in its history, Documenta will be held in two locations: Athens, Greece, and Kassel, Germany, the latter the exhibition\\\'s home since 1955. Prior to the exhibition, South as a State of Mind will publish four special Documenta 14 editions. While the first volume examined displacement, dispossession and the modes of resistance found within them, the second volume explores the more enigmatic theme of silence a ..."
"The Farm Project is a sketch-like portrayal of a peasant kitchen transposed onto the present and possibly beyond. It manifests itself as a little house, a shack of sorts, the outer facade of which consists of a patchwork of various different materials. Inside the space, inventory, animals, food and families squeeze into a few square meters. It is a maximalism, which celebrates the kitchen as a place of congregation, which extols openess ..."
"From 2011 to 2013, Vietnamese artist Danh Võ (born 1975) built a full-scale replica of the Statue of Liberty in 267 pieces, which was installed in New York (among other locations) to much acclaim. Here, Võ places the installation and other works alongside photos by Peter Hujar in an eloquent dialogue on sexuality and identity."
""Based in Berlin" showcases some 80 emerging artists currently living and working in Berlin, pursuing practices ranging from painting and drawing to sculpture, photography, film and video, text, performance and installation. The publication is produced through the initiative of the same name, directed by Moritz van Dulmen, and is the result of literally hundreds of studio visits made since November 2010."
"Ever since the Futurists, artists have recognized speed as a determinative quality of modern life. "Catch Me" features works exploring the intoxication of speed and acceleration, beginning with Ed Ruscha's "High-Speed Gardening" and including work by Daniel Hafner, Lisi Raskin, Anri Sala, Roman Signer and Markus Wilfling."
"The most comprehensive monograph on Korean artist Jewyo Rhii (born 1971), "Moving Floors" gives an overview of the artist's oeuvre as well as documenting "Night Studio," a series of four installations set in an apartment in Seoul, with drawings and documentary photographs."
"Iranian-born, Los Angeles–based artist Tala Madani (born 1981) addresses political subjects through paintings of ritualistic scenarios in which traditional gender roles are inverted. This catalogue documents Madani’s first museum exhibition."
"From Albrecht Fuchs’ magnetic portraits of Sarah Lucas, Raymond Pettibon, Jonathan Meese, Mark Leckey and other international art stars to Wiebke Loeper’s strangely moving and often desolate landscapes to Matthias Koch’s deadpan images of grounded submarines, government ministries and disused military bunkers, this collection highlights 10 new positions in German photography today, as noted by the internationally renowned curator and ph ..."

"The recent Atelier van Lieshout works documented here are neatly designed, carefully built, and deeply ominous enclosed communities. "The Disciplinator" is built to cycle more than 70 residents through 24 bunks and mess hall seats and 36 work stations. No one comes in, no one goes out. AVL is a studio, a commune, a cult, and, for a while, a free state--led by artist Joep van Lieshout."
"Ten years ago, EVN Sammlung, an Austrian power company, set itself the task of collecting the most intensely contemporary art it could lay hands on, without concern for how the work would mature. Its first decade's booty, documented in this substantial catalogue, includes Liam Gillick, Fischli & Weiss, Andreas Gursky, Sol LeWitt, Anri Sala, Maurzio Cattelan, Thomas Demand and Sam Taylor-Wood."
"Description: M City inquires into medium sized European cities through a mix of hematically defined sections (Mapping, Shopping, Migration) and a sampling of six cities, including Basel, Krakow and Trieste. Artists, architects and urban theorists draw richly detailed pictures of profound transformations from core towns to sprawling conturbations, changes of interest to all who are nostalgic for the old city. Includes work from Chris Bur ..."
""Modern technology is anonymous, all-embracing and discreet," said 20th-century master of kinetic art Jean Tinguely in 1966, and he sought to expose its mechanisms. He and his successors, including Paul McCarthy, Bruce Nauman, Jason Rhodes, Rebecca Horn, and many others, get moving in this detailed catalogue from a show at Basel's Museum Tinguely. Essays by Guy Brett, Rolf Pfeifer, Britta Glatzeder, Peter Weibel and Christian Theo Stein ..."
