Fischli & Weiss Retrospective at Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris

A retrospective of Swiss duo Peter Fischli and David Weiss opened at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris, running from February 22 to May 13, 2007. The exhibition spans their work across video, photography, sculpture, and installation. In the catalogue, critic Peter Schjeldahl, quoted by Claire Bishop, describes them as 'rather naive as professional artists,' adding that they do not strive to be first, best, or most spectacular, and even seem to highlight their mediocrity. The show invites viewers to reconsider this assessment.
