A fascinating new show just opened at Los Angeles’ Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA) that brings the outside weather indoors. Internationally acclaimed Swiss-born artist Urs Fischer makes his first comprehensive museum retrospective in the United States with magical works like “Horses Dream of Horses.” Reminiscent of a frozen spring shower, 1,500 plaster and resin raindrops strung on nylon filament hang magically in mid-air.

Over 10 years of Fischer’s artworks are displayed in the 65,000 square feet space that are sure to surprise and delight at every turn. You can read more about what The New York Times calls “a formal exercise in high contrasts — order built from disarray, precision from destruction — presented through radical scale shifts, disharmonious color schemes and surprisingly cohesive textural oppositions,” here.

Urs Fischer materializa la fantasía, da forma a motivos y acciones que rara vez ocurren en el mundo visible. Siguiendo un símil pictórico, su paleta es de las más variadas de cuantas pueden encontrarse hoy en el panorama internacional. El artista suizo es capaz de trabajar en ámbitos antitéticos y es, así, uno de los mejores referentes para entender la deriva que ha tomado la escultura en las últimas décadas, su heterogeneidad, su radicalidad, el enorme espectro de posibilidades físicas y objetuales que ofrece. La escultura de Urs Fischer camina entre diferentes estados físicos.
