SOLD OUT!
"All quiet on the outside. Since 1997 the German art publisher Ringier have enlived their end of year financial round up by commissioning artists to design the publications. 2007 was the year of Swiss double act FISCHLI/WEISS - aka long standing IDEA contemporary art favourites. It's the best annual report ever!
With zero reference to the facts and figures, diagrams and demographics that precede their pages, Fischli / Weiss appropriated 800 single page magazine advertisements and paired them up in themes of colour, mood, appeal and aspiration! The result is either hugely satisfying or like a week spent in the waiting room of a private dental practice (choose your own response!).
Life is... an advert for Killer Sudoku or a James Bond endorsement for Ultra Strong Haarspray. The answer... is both... a longing for both!
Another cat - which is by no means a theme - but we did love this pairing of the subject in repose. One with a seventeen seat sofa to enjoy, the other with a turned out tin of Miamor and what looks like a lettuce leaf. Cats love side salads, obviously!
Cushions are comforting. That may be our only comment on this particular double page! You can see more of the book on this super entertaining link. The full experience of all 400 double page pairings will be the personal pleasure of whomever buys it. T
ake care though, like a 'death by chocolate' cake or a Police Academy all-nighter, the chance of sensory overdose is running very high. Just try to to consume the whole of western consumerism in one sitting!"
