In 8th-century Moorish Spain the musician Ziryab introduced to Córdoba sophisticated clothing-styles based on seasonal and daily fashions from his native Baghdad, modified by his own inspiration. Similar changes in fashion occurred in the 11th century in the Middle East following the arrival of the Turks, who introduced clothing styles from Central Asia and the Far East.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row vertical_align=”middle” bg_color=””][vc_column width=”1/2″][ish_box][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/1″][ish_quote author=”Theodore Roosevelt” size=”h3″ align=”center”]”Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.”[/ish_quote][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/ish_box][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/2″][ish_box color=”none” text_color=”none” inner_padding=”0#0#0#60″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1/1″][ish_headline tag_size=”h3″]Fashion industry[/ish_headline][vc_column_text]The fashion industry is a product of the modern age.

After discovering a passion for jazz at the age of 16, he enrolled in a foundation course at the Kunstgewerbeschule, Zurich, where in his first year of study he befriended fellow artist Urs Lüthi.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Having rejected careers as a decorator, a graphic designer and a photographer, Weiss soon came to view a career as an artist as a realistic prospect. He studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule, Zurich (1963–4), and the Kunstgewerbeschule, Basel (1964–5); he subsequently worked as sculptor with Alfred Gruder (Basel) and Jaqueline Stieger (England). In 1967, he worked at the Expo 67 in Montreal, before travelling to New York, where he got to know the important minimalist art of the time. Between 1970 and 1979 he published books in collaboration with Lüthi. For most of 1975-78, he spent a great deal of time drawing in black ink, and had exhibitions at galleries in Zürich, Amsterdam, Cologne, and Rotterdam.[/vc_column_text][ish_image image=”200″ stretch_image=”yes” link_type=”image” show_caption=”yes”][ish_headline tag_size=”h3″ align=”left” color=”color5″]Works[/ish_headline][vc_column_text]Art critics often see parallels to Marcel Duchamp, Dieter Roth or Jean Tinguely in Fischli and Weiss’ parody bearing work.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Wurstserie (1979) was Fischli and Weiss’ first collaborative project, setting the tone for their future work. In the series, ordinary sausages and slices of sausages became the protagonists of scenarios, alluding to situations such as cars in a traffic accident in an urban setting, layers of carpets and other situations. By the end of the 1980s, the duo had expanded their repertoire to embrace an iconography of the incidental, creating deadpan photographs of kitsch tourist attractions and airports around the world. For their contribution to the 1995 Venice Biennale, at which they represented Switzerland, Fischli & Weiss exhibited 96 hours of video on 12 monitors that documented what they called “concentrated daydreaming”—real-time glimpses into daily life in Zurich: a mountain sunrise, a restaurant chef in his kitchen, sanitation workers, a bicycle race, and so on. For the Skulptur Projekte Münster (1997), Fischli and Weiss planted a flower and vegetable garden conceived with an ecological point of view and documented its periodic growth through photographs.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
