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.
