"Restaging the Everyday: Recent Work by Beat Streuli and Fischli/Weiss"
2001-12-08 until 2002-03-17
San Francisco Museum of Modern Art
San Francisco, CA,
USA
Restaging the Everyday: Recent Work by Beat Streuli and Fischli/Weiss is an
installation of two works by contemporary Swiss artists Beat Streuli and the
Swiss duo Peter Fischli and David Weiss. Organized by Benjamin Weil, SFMOMA
curator of media arts, the exhibition raises questions about how the realms of the
mundane, the familiar and fine art intersect.
The short video Busi (Kitty), 2001, by Peter Fischli and David Weiss, presents a
kitten walking towards the camera and lapping milk out of a saucer. Recently
featured in The 59th Minute: Video Art on the Times Square Astrovision by
Panasonic organized by Creative Time, this work revisits a major theme -- the
banal -- in the Swiss duo’s oeuvre.
