Fischli/Weiss - Rock on Top of Another Rock - The first public sculpture by the artists to be commissioned in the UK, this unique installation in Kensington Gardens, situated outside the Serpentine Gallery, echoes the earliest and most basic types of monuments found around the world: two colossal rocks seemingly balanced precariously one on top of the other. Formed of two glacial igneous granite boulders and standing approximately 5.5 metres high on a concrete base, the monumental sculpture will be visible from a number of viewpoints in the Park. With this deceptively simple gesture, Fischli/Weiss have once again achieved the delicate balancing act of creating a work that is at once incongruous and startling, and yet entirely in tune with its site - both locally and historically. Sourced in Wales and reminiscent of the many Neolithic monuments found throughout the British countryside, Fischli/Weiss's rocks are imbued with their unmistakeable wit and a serious sense of the absurd. Fischli/Weiss have continuously demonstrated that irony and sincerity could not exist without each other and that, in fact, there is no sincerity like irony. Until March 2014.
