MOCA presents Urs Fischer

Today MOCA Grand Avenue and the Geffen Contemporary at MOCA opened the first comprehensive museum retrospective of works by the internationally acclaimed Swiss-born artist Urs Fischer.  Known for using a range of media to express the transience of art, this exhibit brings together iconic works and new productions.  It's a unique experience traveling between the two spaces.  There is this sense of banal and fantastic.  I caught glimpses of two small children investigating the massive clay installation and they [as well as adults] found whimsy and repulsion.  Banal and fantastical.  On exhibit through August 19, 2013.
