preview with director: Sunday 26. September 12.00 clock in the Riff Raff
Urs Fischer is a whiz. The 36-year-old Swiss artist who resides in New York celebrates with his drawings, sculptures and installations for years international success. Fischer receives prestigious international exhibition opportunities and has significant production budget, allowing him for instance to produce towering sculptures. The film shows him as an artist who draws his creativity from a field of intense contrasts and contradictions. Fischer oscillates between joy and Schaffenswut, art traditions and pop culture, spontaneity, and high-tech back and forth. In his two- and three-dimensional works, he continues to find the synthesis between these seeming opposites. In the center of the film stands as the climax of his career the preparation to the opening of his first solo exhibition in a museum in the U.S., the New Museum in New York City in October 2009. Visually interwoven like a net, the film shows the main productions and exhibitions of the last six years, with compelling images of locations such as Venice, London, Sydney, Zurich and Shanghai. Viewers are immersed in the complex creative process behind an exhibition. They see the pressure under which an international artist and works out what it specifically focuses ie, as an artist to be part of an art market, are in the millions of dollars at stake.
