the Museum of modern art "Garage" is a major exhibition URS Fischer "Small axe", timed to the anniversary of stay of the Museum in a new building — former restaurant "the seasons".

the First solo project of the artist in Russia is associated with his impressions of the architecture of the building, the monument of the Soviet modernism erected in 1968 and renovated according to the project by REM Koolhaas. The exhibition, built on a play with scale and sensory perception, will offer visitors a 'Garage' on-новому to look at the Museum.

the Exhibit, located in the Central gallery "Garage" includes more than twenty bronze, hand-painted sculptures created especially for the exhibition. Small works depict the particular fleeting, transitory moment: wilted Tulip in a vase or a rat playing on the big piano. These physical manifestations of the imagination be a vivid contrast with the restrained power of the Soviet modernist building.

Introduced in the space of the Museum a sense of the variability and immediacy reinforce a large-scale work. One of them is a sculpture of-свечу, which depicts a couple sitting at full height — friends of the artist at the time of manifestation of their mutual tenderness;, it will burn every other day and gradually melt during the exhibition. Another exhibit — nine-meter curved shape, allowing viewers to walk around it and under it, — is strongly enhanced sculptural version of messy doodles. And just as rapidly becomes a line drawn in the installation of the Fischer architectural form, the strokes of paint come to life in his recent paintings, also built on the play with space and scale. In them the artist painted on top of photographs taken in his garden in Los-Анджелесе, and then greatly increases the results, thereby creating a picture.

On the square in front of the "Garage" will develop the project YES — largest in the work of Fisher collaborative project in public space. Everyone will be invited to take part in creating the landscape of clay sculptures, which will change throughout the exhibition. An open process of collaboration, contrasting with secluded work in the quiet of the workshop, emphasizes the important role played in society for collective action (with its beyond the control of synergy. During the first weeks of the project preparation longtime associate of Fischer, Mina stone and Alex Eagleton, will prepare meals for project participants and volunteers of YES. These well-known chefs, for the first time working in Moscow, will offer a daily changing menu based on local seasonal ingredients.

the Third section of the exhibition "the Little axe" will open in the West gallery "Garage" July 4, 2016. Together with the team of the Museum's URS Fischer exhibition will transform the gallery into a space where visitors can learn more about project YES and learn more about the artist.
