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 * Artist's Writings - include unpublished scripts from early video works and an interview from 1996 with Rirkrit Tiravanija, one of the many contemporary artists who admire Fischli and Weiss'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
