PLAY (solo show)
Tel Aviv Museum of Art
18 July – 17 October 2022
Urs Fischer's groundbreaking Artificial Intelligence work PLAY is currently on show at the Tel Aviv Museum of Art funtil 17 October. Nine brightly coloured office chairs move freely in the gallery, interacting with the viewers to create a surprising and witty ensemble that merges sculpture, human behaviour, and choreography.
The adjacent space hosts one of Fischer’s signature candle-sculptures, Francesco. The towering figure of the Italian curator Francesco Bonami stands incongruously on top of a half-open refrigerator. The ephemeral sculpture is in the process of disappearing, as it is cast in wax with lighted wicks that gradually melt the figure over the course of the exhibition.

Urs Fischer's work The Intelligence of Flowers, 2003–2005, is included in the group exhibition Before · Between · Beyond. The Collection in Transition at the Aargauer Kunsthaus in Aarau, Switzerland. Fischer's playful wall cut-out installation is presented alongside works by fellow Swiss artists housed in the permenant collection of the Aargauer Kunsthaus.
The display combines photography, sculpture, painting, video, printed graphics, and drawing with large-scale installations and location-specific works that were created especially for this event. The exhibition offers remarkable glimpses into the holdings of this extensive public collection of Swiss art and encourages lively encounters and new discoveries.
