Intro

Together with the team at the Robert Walser Center, Peter Fischli has hung over two dozen works, giving free rein to his curatorial streak.

It comes as no surprise that Peter Fischli enjoys reading Robert Walser and walking through town and country with him in his head. Both share that stubborn humor that is rooted in the everyday and blossoms in the inconspicuous without ever slipping into the banal. Fischli's collaboration with David Weiss was already characterized by this attitude: by an art of seeing that trusts the incidental and finds meaning in the trivial.

In "Wir Ungestalten", Peter Fischli continues this idea. The 'undesigned' is not a deficiency, but a state of open form: the provisional, which eludes any final interpretation. The works move between sculpture and trace, observation and invention, humor and melancholy. They are created in the moment of discovery, in quiet amazement at the almost overlooked. The result is a poetic archive of fleeting traces: somnambulistic images of those foam-born sculptures that appear at night on park benches, posts, letterboxes or door handles. Minimally invasive interventions in public space, which becomes a playground for mischievous vandalism through these ephemeral gestures.

Together with the team at the Robert Walser Center, Peter Fischli has hung over two dozen works, giving free rein to his curatorial streak. The 'Ungestalten' not only populate the staff offices, but also the otherwise inaccessible archive area.
