theory and practice

Fischli & Weiss, Flowers & Questions. A Retrospective at Tate Modern is the first UK retrospective to explore the collaborative art practice of Swiss artists Peter Fischli (b1952) and David Weiss (b1946).
Since the late 1970s the artists have consistently captivated and amused audiences with their extraordinary transformations of the commonplace. Fischli and Weiss work across a wide range of media and this exhibition presents their sculpture, installation, moving image and photography. Underlying all of their work is a childlike spirit of discovery which encourages the viewer to look afresh at their surroundings. In Fischli and Weiss’s world everyday objects take on an unexpectedly lifelike quality; they balance on each other, play off each other and collide into one another with a witty intelligence infused by the artists.
