Allen Fisher

What They’re Saying About Allen Fisher

Fisher’s work escapes all, even manifold definition. Idea upon idea, for me it sustains Being, wrestles Becoming, there, in the holomovement, in omnipresence of the very wildness and artistic civility of the cosmoses. I experience it as imag-inatively achieved, and while magnetic, redolent with meaning, innocence, gentility and charm, in deepest personal/social critique. A threshold-free poet, knowing, pataphysical, but inclusive and further, an inutterably learned release from meaninglessness through causally fine-grained emotional IQ. There is no failure of nerve. The work demonstrates implicate and explicate orders in savvy motion, that light can and does exceed its own speed, ex animo. He is on to it.

Allen Fisher’s Gravity sequence began biking out of Brixton’s lock-ups in the early eighties and here its later crushed spirals achieve a welcome and incomplete shape. Enabling the test of social practice through the durational performance of mobile collage, The Fisher researches into traps set for conscience by those flying high on habituated truth-claims are still and, flicking the switch marked Function, begins generating he said complex adaptive systems what?: tools for aesthetic production felt at first if you care get tripped into troughs startle pink.
