Untitled (Tate) 1992 - 2000

Curator: Peter Fischli, born in 1952, is the creator of this captivating, albeit untitled, artwork currently residing in the Tate Collections. The display dimensions are variable, which is fitting, as it feels like a snapshot of a process rather than a static object. Editor: It’s like walking into an abandoned stage set after a really existential play. Ghostly. All that stark white. Curator: Exactly. It plays with ideas of transience and permanence, questioning the value we place on objects and labour. The discarded materials hint at a previous creative act. We might consider how capitalist systems foster a culture of disposability. Editor: Or maybe, just maybe, the artist forgot to clean up. It does have a certain… charming disarray. Like my studio, actually. Curator: I think it goes deeper. Consider the social implications of artistic production, the often-invisible labor involved in creating art. Editor: Well, for me, it's a beautiful mess. It whispers of potential, of art waiting to happen. Curator: A potent reminder that art exists not just in the finished product, but also in the messy process of creation. Editor: Yes, the beauty’s in the becoming.
