Their internationally renowned sculpture, video and photographic works look at everyday life and its conceptions of beauty and pleasure, forming an innocent, unpredictable world utterly unique in contemporary art Peter Fischli and David Weiss' work has been seen at such key international exhibitions as documenta 8 (1987) and X (1997), the Biennales of Sydney (1990, 1998) and Sao Paulo (1989) and the Carnegie International, Pittsburgh (1988), among many others. This is the first true monograph on this extraordinary pair, who will have a major retrospective of their work at the Tate Modern, London (2005-6) Fischli & Weiss are represented by Spruth Magers Lee, 12 Berkeley Street, London W1J 8DT, England, tel. +44 20 7491 0100, fax 20 7491 0200, and Matthew Marks Gallery, 523 West 24 St, New York, NY 10011 Artist's residence: Zurich, Switzerland

目次

Interview - Swiss critic Beate Soentgen discusses with the artists notions of sincerity and illusion, and examines the question of how literally viewers are asked to read their work. * Survey - French critic and curator Robert Fleck looks at Fischli and Weiss' ability to resist conventional artistic categories, crossing fluidly between sculpture, installation, photography and the moving image. * Focus - Noted art critic and leading authority on Fischli and Weiss, Professor Arthur C. Danto examines the immensely popular The Way Things Go (1987), offering a new perspective on this well-known film. * Artist's Choice - The artists have chosen a text by Swiss novelist Robert Walser on the pleasure of walking, which mirrors their own meanderings. * Artist's Writings - include unpublished scripts from early video works and an interview from 1996 with Rirkrit Tiravanija, one of the many contemporary artists who admire Fischli and Weiss' understated, unmonumental style. * Chronology and Bibliography
