Urs Fischer: YES

Bound in a tête-bêche format as a reversible book with two front covers, Urs Fischer: YES documents two iterations of Urs Fischer’s ongoing collaborative project of the same name, in which individuals from all walks of life worked together to populate two very different landscapes with a profusion of sculptures. Filling the warehouse-like space of the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA in Los Angeles and the sun-washed terrain surrounding the DESTE Foundation’s project space in a former slaughterhouse on the Greek island of Hydra, collaborators joined Fischer in making figures and animals out of unfired clay, which were left to disintegrate over time.
