Urs Fischer: YES and LA DUST - Opening Reception
7000 Santa Monica Blvd

In April 2013, Urs Fischer opened one of the most radical exhibitions ever presented in a museum. He arranged for tons of modeling clay to be delivered to the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and invited anyone who wanted to participate to sculpt the clay. Urs selected the most intriguing sculptures to cast in bronze. Now, thirteen years later, nineteen of these bronzes will be presented in Deitch’s 925 N. Orange Drive gallery. With a few exceptions, all of the exhibited sculptures were created by Urs himself with his studio team. In addition to LA Dust, Deitch’s Santa Monica Boulevard gallery will include Urs Fischer’s takeover of the bookstore. The space will be animated by a group of shadow lamps. The store will also feature a selection of books and items of clothing that Urs produces in his studio.
