Peter Fischli & David Weiss March 13, 2006
New York City, New York
Forming the first major US exhibition for Swiss duo Peter Fischli and David Weiss since 2002, Rat and Bear and Fotografías represent an overview of seminal early work and recent projects. Rat and Bear reinvents original costumes used in the films The Least Resistance (1981) and The Right Way (1983), suspending them in mysteriously opaque plexi cases, self-reflexively suggesting that the artists have achieved enduring, if perhaps unlooked-for, status as art historical icons. Fotografías presents sequences of snapshots of wall murals taken from Fischli and Weiss' travels around the world. Captured in black-and-white, 4x6-inch slide film, the vibrant imagery of their subject matter appears like faded offerings from some ghostly pop-cultural atlas. (AM)
Note: Fotografías is on exhibit at the 24th St gallery, and Rat and Bear is exhibited at the 22nd St location.

"We've tried to find a replacement for DECAPITATED but it has been impossible. We've decided to play a longer set and throw in some songs that we either never played live before or haven't played live in a very long time. And we think we have a set list that will please both old and new fans!"
