Description: Urs Fischer (Switzerland, 1973) is one of the most active and influential contemporary artists of his generation. Exhibiting internationally since the late 90s, this is his first solo exhibition in Latin America. Coming to Mexico, Urs Fischer's goal is to offer a survey of his practice to date spanning more than 25 years of production, while presenting new work conceived for the show and a country whose culture is deeply rooted in the iconography of catholic faith that is richly represented in its arts. Urs Fischer has conceived an exhibition that is variously playful, ro-mantic and poetic, where the visitor can descend into the underworld and ascend upwards into his imagination.While the show presents old, recent, and never-before seen works, as a whole it acts as an installation specific to the Museo Jumex's distinctive building. Rather than following a chronologically order, Lovers treats the museum like a birthday cake with its different layers and flavor. Each floor offers the view-er its own specific experience that, like the book Alice in the Wonderland, allows for diverse physical and dimensions, as well as shifts from emotion to perception, or from detached gaze to sublime wonder.
