Many of the ideas and themes we see in the work of Fischli and Weiss are embodied in Suddenly This Overview (1981-present), an ongoing series of small figurative sculptures made in unfired clay, a choice of medium that was deliberate. “Clay was for kindergarten. That was the point – to bring the making of art down to a level where it has the least pretentiousness,” says Bice Curiger the artistic director of the Fondation Vincent van Gogh in Arles, France.
