Matthew Higgs, Artforum, Best of 2002, A Special Issue, December 2002, pp 110-111 "Lowland Lullaby" (Swiss Institute, New York) Dreamed up by Swiss mavericks Ugo Rondinone and Urs Fischer and the seminal New York spoken-word poet John Giorno , "Lowland Lullaby" won my award for surreal collaboration of the year. From beneath Rondinone's Op art-decorated, stagelike platform floor emanated a recording of Giorno reading his epic poem "There Was a Bad Tree", which provided accompaniment for Fischer's loopy drawings and sculptures. Like the Swiss Institute's inspiringly strange programming, "Lowland Lullaby" made absolute sense and no sense at all.
