Max Frisinger


When asked about his works and the development of his practice, Frisinger simply states: ‘inveni, vidi, vici’ (‘I found, I saw, I conquered’). His assemblages can be seen to be making reference to the tradition of refuse-based art, recycling detritus to comment on the society of excess. Looming over Frisinger’s new time-capsules of the everyday are the ghosts of found-object sculptures by Marcel Duchamp and Jean Tinguely, Arman’s ‘accumulations’ and Daniel Spoerri’s ‘snare pictures’, as well as a poetic playfulness, somewhere between Joseph Cornell and the musical, performative improvisation of Fluxus.
