Son[i]a #104
Friedrich Meschede and Dorothee Fischer
A single exhibition was enough to give Konrad Fischer worldwide fame. The venue? A corridor, ten metres long and three wide in a city that was little more than a backwater in contemporary art: Düsseldorf. It all started with Carl Andre, but was followed by a long list of great artists who turned that 30-square-metre space into a challenge and a springboard.
Konrad Fischer opened his tiny gallery in the heart of Düsseldorf in 1967, quickly turning it into a laboratory for brilliant ideas that expanded throughout Europe and into the United States.
Son[i]a speaks with Friedrich Meschede and Dorothee Fischer bout the exhibition “With a Probability of Being Seen. Dorothee and Konrad Fischer. Archives of an attitude”.
Brigitte Kölle, author of the book okey dokey Konrad Fischer, talks about the life and personality of Konrad Fischer.
