URS fisher - HEADZ - 2018

Rare Artist's Book – Urs Fischer & Spencer Sweeney – HEADZ NYC (2018) – Underground Jazz & Art Brut
Discover this extremely rare artist's book, a true visual and raw archive of the legendary HEADZ project, staged in New York (Chinatown) by contemporary art superstar Urs Fischer in collaboration with artist and DJ Spencer Sweeney.
Published in a very limited edition by the artist's publishing house (Kiito-San), this volume is a collectible object unavailable in the mainstream commercial circuit.
Fidèle à l'esprit "punk" et anti-institutionnel d'Urs Fischer, le livre ne comporte délibérément aucun texte, aucun index, ni aucun crédit, plongeant directement le lecteur dans une transe visuelle pure.
This volume documents the effervescence of HEADZ's clandestine weekly sessions.
Each page is a visual jolt:
Immersive photographs of the New York avant-garde jazz scene in the midst of improvised jam sessions (saxophonists, drummers, violinists at the heart of the action).
Expressionist paintings, collages, pastel drawings, and raw sketches drawn live by the participants and the artists to the rhythm of the music.
Iconic cover: A stunning urban photograph captured during the solar eclipse in New York, featuring the modern, striking title "HEADZ" in sharp yellow letters.
