Urs Fischer

Good Smell / Make-Up Tree

This book has been conceived by the artist as a cross-reading of his process-related and ‘style-less’ work through the arrangement of more than 200 images: reproductions of works, installation views, studio shots, and special features.

Using all possible ordinary materials, Fischer creates unhierarchical collages of objects and thoughts, high and low aesthetics, mundane and artistic memories, and personal and political interrogation. The publication has been designed by Scipio Schneider in collaboration with the artist, and laid out in printed form as a studio journal.

Asked for a contribution, the London-based composer, engineer, and consultant, Garrick Jones wrote seven piano studies and a suite for strings and oboe inspired by Fischer’s work. Taking up 200 pages of the book, these scores have been recorded, and the results are available on CD or as downloads on request from the publisher.
