ROB FISCHER
2011-04-04In this exhibition Fischer presents three sculptures that further develop and explore themes seen throughout his work. The artist recently participated in the Hammer Projects series, installing a major sculptural work on the museum’s lobby wall.For years Fischer has reclaimed wooden floorboards from school gymnasiums throughout the Midwest. In his project at the Hammer he created a mural-like wall sculpture that existed as a labyrinth of roadways and paths of intersecting floorboards that refer back to the notion of the American road trip and an almost haphazard journey through nostalgia.
Here Fischer presents a work from this series, a wall sculpture that serves as a fragment of the larger floorboard installations. In this work it is as if the artist has taken a snap shot of a metaphorical roadmap as the work snakes down the wall into a corner and onto the floor, ending mid-path. Further fragmenting familiar objects Fischer presents two sculptures referencing a normative form, the boat.
