Urs Fischer

Anti-Structure

DESTE’s Anti-Structure exhibition, curated by Andreas Melas, resists traditional form and embraces chaos. Featuring an eclectic assortment of works from across time and genre, Anti-Structure puts Urs Fischer’s gravity-defying sculptures in dialogue with art by Greek and Cypriot creators, including Yannoulis Chalepas, Nausica Pastra, George Lappas, Pantelis Xagoraris, and Takis Zenetos. The exhibition is named after a term coined by anthropologist Victor Turner, who defined “anti-structure” as a state of limbo inhabited during a rite of passage. In this space, we cross an event horizon, and our very identities collapse and are reformed. Anti-Structure offers an innovative, immersive experience that welcomes interpretation and invites the viewer to cross the boundary between who they are and what they could be.
