Urs Fischer: The Making of Yes, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

The Making of Yes features photographs by Cassandra MacLeod documenting a vast collaborative project by Urs Fischer with contributions by 1, 500 individuals who were invited to work in clay over the weeks preceding the opening of Fischer’s retrospective exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles. All were asked to join Fischer in making figures and animals out of clay, allowing for variation within a theme so that the possibilities for style, structure, scale and finish would be open to exploration while preserving the unity of the project. Filling the expansive spaces of the museum, the unfired clay forms disintegrated over time to create a fantastical landscape of fragmented figures. The lively photographs in this volume convey the hands-on sense of fun and excitement the individual participants experienced from partaking in this exuberant project. | Urs Fischer: The Making of Yes, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
