Best Selling Books by David Weiss

This little gem is the fourth edition of the catalogue to Suddenly This Overview, the influential Fischli & Weiss exhibition of unfired clay objects which took place in December and January of 1981 and 82. That exhibition represented the first major collaboration between the artists, who have since become two of the most influential figures on the international scene. In this pocket-sized volume, the small, very hand-made-looking clay sculptures are reproduced in low-tech black-and-white and accompanied by the amusing descriptive captions with which they were originally exhibited. Thus a little man on a bicycle comes with the caption, "Dr. Hoffmann on the first LSD trip," while two figures walking along a sidewalk with guitars are described, "Mick Jagger and Brian Jones going home satisfied after composing ''I can''t get no satisfaction.''" Classic.

Peter Fischli et David Weiss élaborent une oeuvre commune depuis 1979. Ils portent un regard extérieur, voire excentrique sur notre société : l''esthétique populaire, les merveilles de l''univers, le jeu, les objets de supermarché, l''architecture, la morale sont les matériaux divers de leur création.

Der heutige Band ist der erste, der sich mit der Geschichte der Gesellschaft für Arbeitsmethodik e. V. beschäftigt. Uns ist es gelungen, mit Dr. David Weiss einen Historiker zu gewinnen, der die GfA, beginnend mit ihrer Gründung, aus der Sicht eines externen Beobachters in einen historischen Kontext einordnet. Warum dieser Rückblick? Wichtig ist uns, zu verdeutlichen, wie modern die GfA e. V. immer gewesen ist. Neue Entwicklungen wurden von ihr stets strukturiert aufgenommen. Die GfA wurde wahrgenommen, wie etwa umfangreiche Besprechungen sowohl in der Wirtschaftswoche als auch im Handelsblatt belegen. Auch die Fernseh-Akademie ist hierfür ein Beispiel. Wurden doch die Veranstaltungen der GfA im Südwesten aufgezeichnet und gesendet. Die GfA hat stets klare Orientierung in Zeiten globalen Wirtschaftens, flexibler Arbeitsgestaltung, Segmentierung der Gesellschaft sowie der Medien- und Informationsflut geben wollen. Sie ist ein Netzwerk von Personen mit einer Vielzahl persönlicher und methodischer Kompetenzen. Außerdem ist sie eine emotionale Gemeinschaft Sie ist zeitlos, trifft aber immer auch den aktuellen Zeitgeist.

New collection of poems by David Weiss, author of Per Diem. A new collection of poems by the author of Per Diem and six other books. Rarely does a poet demonstrate such mobility, plumbing the depths of the psyche while giving it new sounds, new light, new configurations of consciousness. "No One Sleeps Tonight is a collection of poems that asks the reader to ''listen to your being there.'' There is a boy kneeling at the foot of a wheelchair to help his grandmother put her feet on the steel plates; there is a man in love with ''a dozen of roses'' and the phrase ''a dozen of roses,'' bloodied and beautiful and musical; a speaker searching for a line of poetry, ''small night celebrates the great night,'' and finding it by not finding it--which is another way of finding the elusive presence, this time through solitude, that ultimate presence. In fact, all of No One Sleeps Tonight is a small life celebrating a great life through a vision that is so deliciously embodied, it makes you want to rip off the covers, get out of bed, naked, thrust open the window, and let all the evenings of your life visit you again and again and again."--Matthew Lippman Poetry. Jewish Studies.

Before he began working with Peter Fischli, David Weiss (1946–2012), who did his sculptor training at the Kunstgewerbeschule Basel, participated from 1975–1977 in various national and international gallery and museum exhibitions where he showed his early drawings, for example in the exhibition Mentalität Zeichnung (1976), curated by Jean-Christophe Ammann in the Kunstmuseum Luzern.0Almost without exception, these large-format works on paper originated from small-format drawing books or pads that David Weiss never regarded as sketch-books but instead saw as independent works and as part of the pool and archive of his entire artistic oeuvre, traces of which can also be found in later sculptural works by Fischli/Weiss.0Edition Patrick Frey is enormously pleased to publish in cooperation with Edition Weiss a new edition of these mostly newly rediscovered and fascinating early works by the internationally acclaimed Swiss artist. This representative collection Nine Books 1973–1979, published in a limited edition, was initiated by David Weiss himself; after his death the editorial work was overseen by Iwan Schumacher.0The original sketchbooks, all of which are part of the David Weiss estate curated by the artist’s son Oskar Weiss, including the works Comix, the legendary Regenbüchlein and the water-color series Im Bad, published in 1974/1975 in the Edition Pablo Stähli, have been printed and bound in a limited edition as a facsimile of the original format.0 09 facsimile books in slipcase, published on the occasion of the exhibition David Weiss at Kunstmuseum Chur, February 2014.
