Urs Fischer

Fischer's interest lies with the everyday objects of our surroundings - food, drink, tables, chairs, cats. Instead of using and reconfiguring ready mades, Fischer makes objects. His production process is organic and experimental, embracing both construction and destruction. The traces of this process remain at the core of the finished work - a roughness in the end piece often bears testimony to these signs of evolution. With his works, there is somehow an, albeit largely false, impression that they retain the potential for further evolution. This is perhaps not least due to the artist's choice of riddle-like titles, a linguistic complement to the works, in which he combines common words into unexpected phrases, throwing out surprising verbal and visual connections. The finished works are unified by an upbeat feel.
