Giuseppe Penone is a contemporary artist associated with the Arte Povera art movement. He reinvented sculpture, drawing, conceptual photography, art installation, through proto environmental art with the sensibility of a late late romantic.Curator and art critic Germano Celant created the term #artepovera in 1967 to highlight a tendency toward a use of reduced material or idea to its archetype. How does Penone fit into that notion? He seems to have had a singular place in the Italian and global Western art canon of the time, using organic growth as an art process that the artist mirrors, plays and aligns with. Have we been forcing a dialogue between his work and Celant's concept? What other relations with memory and matter has he expanded through his work? Was he a pioneer of eco-art? A late romantic? All of the above? Artist ⁠Diogo Pimentão⁠ is my co-host for the first time. As ever, I'll introduce the artist and he'll take us through this small retrospective exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery. Curated by Claude Adjil, Curator at Large, and Hans Ulrich Obrist, Artistic Director, with Alexa Chow, Assistant Exhibitions Curator.You wouldn't leave the shop without paying for your latte, right?Buy us a latte ;-) ⁠https://exhibitionistaspodcast.com/support-us⁠SIGN UP for the NEWSLETTER!

As one of the world's most respected curators of contemporary art and the current artistic director of London's Serpentine, Hans Ulrich Obrist is truly on top of his game. Through his innovative programming, his definition-making books, and his endless quest for knowledge and connections, Obrist has taught us to look differently at a profession so crucial in a changing world. On this episode, Dan speaks with the art-world dynamo about how he once curated an exhibition in his kitchen, why he owns an Xbox, the important evolutions of the Serpentine, the future of his profession, and more.

We meet artist Carsten Höller for some perceptual playtime to celebrate New Year's Day! We explore Höller's collection of odd tasks and mischievous game-play.Carsten Höller invites readers to disrupt their daily lives with 336 mind-expanding diversions. They can be played alone, in pairs or in teams, in the street, in bed, on a train, wherever. No props or materials are needed. Just one body, all senses and a willingness to try something new, that's possibly conceptually or physically challenging, but guaranteed to entertain and to widen the player's horizons.Some games are more obviously daring than others – unexpectedly shouting ‘bang!' when your driver's reversing into a parking space is sure to elicit a reaction – but that's absolutely the point. Other games involve covertly dropping strange phrases into conversation, executing somersaults (without practice), or plucking hairs from your opponent's head while they stay poker-faced.Höller's scientific professional background informs his keenness to create what he calls Influential Environments. He wants to tease the brain while testing its limitations, through activity and passivity, agency and inertia. He conceived his first game with a group of friends in 1992, during a tedious dinner after an exhibition opening. Since then, he has collected and invented ideas, inspired by friends, life, the Surrealists, and Arthur Rimbaud. All games are illustrated with commissioned or pre-existing artworks and photographs. We find portraits by Inez van Lamsweerde & Vinoodh Matadin, August Sander, and Nan Goldin next to paintings by Salvador Dalí; snapshots of Joseph Beuys plus son and Donna Haraway plus dog next to appointed pieces by Christine Sun Kim and Anri Sala; film stills by Chantal Akerman, extracts from Shakespeare as well as treasures from Höller's personal archive—and his mother's.Edited by Stefanie Hessler and Hans Ulrich Obrist, this book encourages readers to engage in playful yet cerebral experiments that will leave them with a sense of wonder, disorientation, and a subtle smirk on their face.As an artist, Carsten Höller conducts radical experiments. His “Influential Environments” explore alternative scenarios, reimagining possibilities for human behavior and interaction and have been shown in major installations and solo exhibitions internationally over the last two decades. In 2022, he opened his restaurant Brutalisten in Stockholm and presented the third iteration of The Double Club in Los Angeles in 2024. Born in 1961 in Brussels to German parents, Höller currently lives and works in Stockholm and Biriwa, Ghana.Follow @Carsten.Holler on Instagram. Hosted on Acast.

This week, three artist interviews: Carsten Höller on his book of games, Takashi Murakami on his new work, and Valeria Luiselli and Leo Heiblum on their Dia sound installation. Höller is the author of a book featuring 336 games that can be played alone, in pairs or in groups, without any props. He tells Ben Luke about art and play and his perennial quest for unpredictability. Takashi Murakami has been in London this week for the opening of his exhibition, Japanese Art History à la Takashi Murakami, at Gagosian. We speak to him about the show and his fascination with the television series Shōgun. And this episode's Work of the Week is Echoes from the Borderlands, a sound installation created by Valeria Luiselli, Ricardo Giraldo and Leo Heiblum, which was unveiled at Dia Chelsea in New York this week. Valeria and Leo join us to tell us more about the project.Book of Games by Carsten Höller, edited by Stefanie Hessler and Hans Ulrich Obrist, Taschen, 760 pp, £40 or $50 (hb)Japanese Art History à la Takashi Murakami, Gagosian, Grosvenor Hill, London, until 8 March 2025.Echoes from the Borderlands: Study Two, Dia Chelsea, New York, until 1 March 2025.

New Talk Art special episode!!!! We meet leading artist Alvaro Barrington, presented by BMW.We explore his work since we last met him on the podcast a few years ago, his current, epic solo 'Grace' at Tate Britain's Duveen Galleries, as well as a very cool recent collaboration with BMW at Frieze Seoul. Inspired by the BMW Art Car Collection and curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, the artist has paint over seven miniature i7s, drawing inspiration from video games and music.Barrington's practice explores interconnected histories of cultural production. Considering himself primarily a painter, Barrington's multimedia approach to image-making employs burlap, textiles, postcards and clothing, exploring how materials themselves can function as visual tools while referencing their personal, political and commercial histories. Barrington is interested in how the vehicles of the future will have the potential to recognise our moods, emotions and schedules, and as such adapt to them accordingly. The artist explores the future of cars reimagined as self-driving entertainment units and places for meeting that can help bridge different cultures through new technologies such as instant language translation. Utilising artificial intelligence, cars will go far beyond their purely transporting function and instead help us foster new connections and fulfil our daily needs.For this project, Barrington looked into video games centered around cars, which were not only important as play and entertainment, but also as platforms for music and culture. Exploring the history of cars and other vehicles that enable travel and movement, the artist has focused on the intersection of cars and culture and the way they have influenced one another. Merging these references, the artist created 7 unique cars, each featuring a drawing from a film, music video or portraying a cultural figure, which remain influential in Barrington's life and practice.For his Tate Britain commission, Barrington's personal exploration of identity and belonging is a journey in three parts honouring his grandmother, sister and mother.He draws from personal memories across time and place, from his grandmother's Caribbean home where a thunderstorm hammers on the corrugated tin roof, to the exhilarating energy of Carnival. Tate Britain's Duveen Galleries are transformed into a space alive with sound, colour and texture.This is Barrington's poignant celebration of the people and places that make us feel we belong.'GRACE is the constant reimagining of Black culture and aspirational attitude under foreign conditions. GRACE here explores how my grandmother, my mother, and my sister in the British Caribbean community showed up gracefully.' - Alvaro BarringtonGrace runs until 26 January 2025 at @Tate Britain, free entry.

This time we went to the Serpentine gallery in Hyde park. What a nice setting for a contemporary art venue. That walk back to the tube is always a slow and ponderous one. We do talk a lot about walks back to the tube after visiting exhibitions in this episode!We visited the retrospective exhibition of the feminist pioneer Judy Chicago, whose blueprint was a hitherto unpublished manuscript, Revelations, inspired by Illuminations and myths of the Goddess. You can purchase it online or in the book shop. The show was curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist, the artistic director of the gallery.We exchanged different experiences and thoughts about the exhibition, based partially on the curatorial choices that were made and which puzzled us somewhat, although we support the ecological reasons they are based on.For more information about the exhibition go here: https://www.serpentinegalleries.org/whats-on/judy-chicago-revelations/Follow Judy Chicago on Instagram: @judy.chicagoAnd follow us! @exhibitionistas_podcastMusic by Sarturn.

Wenn prominente Kunstschaffende aus der ganzen Welt nach Venedig reisen, passt das Motto der diesjährigen Kunstbiennale «Fremde überall» perfekt. Denn die Stadt quillt aus allen Nähten: Künstlerinnen und Touristen überall. Wie Stadt und Kunst mit «Fremden» umgehen? Ein «Kulturplatz». Ein Fest des Andersseins Der diesjährige Kurator, der Brasilianer Adriano Pedrosa bezeichnet sich als ersten «offen queeren» Kurator der Biennale Venedig. Mit seinem Motto «Stranieri Ovunque», was so viel heisst wie Fremde überall, will er bewusst Kunstschaffende einladen, die selbst Immigranten, Emigranten, Exilkünstler, indigen oder auch queer sind. Ein Fest für Aussenstehende will er feiern und setzt damit ein Zeichen in Zeiten, in denen die Angst vor dem Fremden bestimmend ist. Alle kennen das Gefühl, sich fremd zu fühlen. In Familien. Im Freundeskreis. Am Arbeitsplatz oder in der Stadt in der man lebt. Kunst aus der ganzen Welt «Kulturplatz» will auf der diesjährigen Biennale herausfinden, wie die Kunstschaffenden das Motto umsetzen. Junge Kunstschaffende aus der ganzen Welt haben sich dazu etwas einfallen lassen. Auch die Kuratorin Koyo Kouoh, die im Aargau aufgewachsen ist und heute zwei wichtige Museen in Afrika leitet, kennt das Gefühl des Fremdseins nur zu gut. Sie gilt als Vermittlerin zwischen den Welten. Baume-Schneider, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Ann Demeester – prominente Gäste in Venedig Ann Demeester, Direktorin des Zürcher Kunsthauses, kann nach einem guten Jahr in der Schweiz, im Gespräch mit der Moderatorin Nina Brunner, erzählen, wann und wo sie sich fremd fühlt. Und in welchen Projekten sie das Motto der Biennale gut umgesetzt sieht. Und Nina Brunner trifft noch eine besonders herausragende Persönlichkeit aus der Kunstwelt, den internationalen Kurator Hans Ulrich Obrist. Der begnadete Kunstvermittler wollte schon als kleiner Junge weg aus St. Gallen, hinaus in die grosse weite Welt. In seiner kürzlich erschienenen Biografie, erzählt er, dass er sich schon immer mit Kunstschaffenden auf der ganzen Welt vertraut machen wollte. Und berichtet über sein aktuelles Projekt. Ebenfalls angereist ist Bundesrätin Elisabeth Baume-Schneider, die wir im Schweizer Pavillon treffen. Hier stellt in diesem Jahr der brasilianisch-schweizerische Künstler Guerreiro do Divino Amor sein Projekt vor. Ihm geht es darum auf die Überlegenheit und Macht westlicher Gesellschaften hinzuweisen. Den Schweizer Pavillon hat er in einen Tempel verwandelt. Venedig platzt aus allen Nähten Die Kunstbiennale hat aber auch eine Kehrseite: Denn die ohnehin überquellende Lagunenstadt wird in diesen Monaten noch voller. Fremde überall. Für die Venezianerinnen und Venezianer ist das mittlerweile ein echtes Ärgernis, weil sie sich nicht mehr wohlfühlen in ihrer Stadt. Aber Venedig lebt auch vom Tourismus. Wie kann man mit diesem Dilemma umgehen? Ab 25. April startet die Stadt ein Pilotprojekt. Ab dann müssen alle Tagestouristinnen und -touristen einen Eintritt von fünf Euro zahlen. Ob das eine Lösung ist? «Kulturplatz» spricht mit einer Architektin und einer jungen Schweizer Kuratorin darüber.

Artist Yinka Shonibare CBE RA, and Hans Ulrich Obrist and Tamsin Hong of The Serpentine Galleries, coat London's historic statues and public monuments with fresh layers of history. For over 30 years, Yinka Shonibare CBE RA has used Western European art history to explore contemporary culture and national identities. With his iconic use of Dutch wax print fabric - inspired by Indonesian batik designs, mass-produced in the Netherlands (and now China) and sold to British colonies in West Africa - he troubles ideas of ‘authentic' ‘African prints'. Painting these colourful patterns on his smaller-scale replicas of sculptures of British figures like Winston Churchill, Robert Clive, and Robert Milligan, he engages with contemporary debates raised in Black Lives Matter (#BLM) and the toppling of slave trader Edward Colston's statue in Bristol. Suspended States, the artist's first London solo exhibition in over 20 years, puts these questions of cultural identity and whiteness, within the modern contexts of globalisation, economics, and art markets. Wind Sculptures speak to movements across borders, other works how architectures of power affect refuge, migration, and the legacies of imperialism in wars, conflict, and peace today. With his Library series, we read into Wole Soyinka, Bisi Silva, and canonised 17th, 18th, and 19th century artists like Diego Velázquez, focussing on Yinka's engagement with Pablo Picasso, modernism, and ‘primitivism'. Hans Ulrich Obrist and Tamsin Hong highlight the connection between the Serpentine's ecological work, and Yinka's new woodcuts and drawings which consider the impact of colonisation on the environment. As a self-described ‘post-colonial hybrid', Yinka details his diasporic social practices, including his Guest Project experimental space in Hackney, and G.A.S. Foundation in Nigeria, and collaborations with young artists and researchers like Leo Robinson, Péjú Oshin, and Alayo Akinkubye. Yinka Shonibare: Suspended States runs at the Serpentine Galleries in London until 1 September 2024. Yinka is also an Invited Artist, and participant in Nigeria Imaginary, the official Nigerian Pavilion, at the 60th Venice Biennale, which runs until 24 November 2024.

As our journey through intimacy draws to a close, it's time to look inward and reflect on how we can get closer to ourselves. We're considering ideas of self-knowledge and self-love, alongside what it means to draw on your own life and experiences in a creative practice. What do artists who bring personal and intimate narratives into their work encounter? How can we open up to our vulnerability and decide when to safely share that with others? And could these acts bring us closer together – perhaps helping us build a deeper and more compassionate connection with both self and others? Featuring an interview with Olivia Laing, an original sound work by Axel Kacoutié, audio excerpts from Agnès Varda and Luchita Hurtado from the Serpentine archive, and Serpentine Artistic Director Hans Ulrich Obrist in conversation with Gaylene Gould.

Confronting the slippery topics of fear, vulnerability, sex, love and loneliness in art and life, the Intimacies series delves into the feelings and experiences which we don't always voice – from our relationships with family or strangers, to the things we fear most and our deepest desires, to our surroundings and our innermost selves. Each episode combines interviews, original audio works, conversations, and pieces from the Serpentine archive. This series itself is personal, emotional, reflective, and an exploration of vulnerability in many ways.

Hans Ulrich Obrist is the artistic director of the Serpentine Gallery in Kensington, west London, and is universally acknowledged as one of the most important and prolific art curators of our time. When I spoke to him at his office, I discovered a force of nature with an energy unlike that of anyone I've met before. His notion of home is also pretty extreme. When he was a student, he turned his flat into a gallery and he's lived in some of the world's most famous house-museums. This episode doesn't follow the usual format, but I think it's a really interesting portrait of a brilliant man. This conversation was recorded in person in Hans Ulrich Obrist's office at the Serpentine gallery.

When was the last time you got up off your couch and actually went out to see a movie? Or a play or a concert?

We're kind of teetering on the edge of a new one, but if we're gonna sidestep the problems that have played us so far, we are gonna need new tools, new ways to be together, to live new, and to connect [echoes]. Tai Shani: Any of the things that do have that idea in them of like what the world could be [are like] casting a stone into darkness, but that stone gets met at some point? Or, that's the hope, isn't it? Zing Tsjeng: What if we just thought a little bit bigger here, and we came up with an alternative view of the future and what it could be like. Gaylene Gould: What is a world and how do we begin to reshape it? What role can artists play in this? These are the questions we'll be exploring in REWORLDING, a new Serpentine Podcast series hosted by me, Gaylene Gould. Irenosen Okojie: You can create worlds that people don't recognise. You can create worlds that feel familiar, but suddenly you take somebody somewhere completely new and recalibrate a universe. [echoes] Gaylene Gould: The Serpentine program is all about exploring art and ideas for a changing world, and I've been working with the team to hunt for tools that will help us fashion a more expansive, compassionate and resilient world. Samson Kambalu: For me, remembering is almost like a creative exercise, you know, to try to get back to the present moment by the way of the past, Declan Rowe John: Art is like a way to portray your message to the world and kind of bring people together and show that they aren't alone. Gaylene Gould: Throughout this series, I'll be speaking to leading artists, designers, writers, and thinkers. We'll be hearing new sound art as well as diving back into Serpentine's vast archive to try and answer some of these questions. Performer from Tai Shani's work: I pray you can survive this and live forever Gaylene Gould: In REWORLDING, we'll be dreaming, listening, playing, remembering, and connecting in radical new ways. We'll be traveling together through gardens and game worlds, inner states and outer space, and I cannot wait to share the journey with you. Our first episode drops in January, 2023, so subscribe to Serpentine Podcast now and start your year by reworlding with us.

Frieze Masters presents this conversation with Kamala Ibrahim Ishag and Hans Ulrich Obrist in partnership with the Serpentine (@serpentineuk). To celebrate the opening of her solo exhibition at Serpentine, Ishag returns to the RCA where she studied in the 1960s. She discusses her background, her relationship with nature and the influence of the Sudanese Zār cult on her work.  "If people are really genuine with their plants and they respect their plants, they should talk to them as human, as a source of creation from God. Humans and plants, we are all the same." – Kamala Ibrahim Ishag  Kamala Ibrahim Ishag was amongst the first women artists to graduate from the College of Fine and Applied Art in Khartoum in 1963, which she followed with studies in Mural Painting at the RCA in London between 1964 and 1966 and Lithography, Typography and Illustration from 1968-9. Her work bridges the earthly and spiritual through an understanding of our connections with the natural world. Hans Ulrich Obrist (@hansulrichobrist) is Artistic Director at Serpentine  Find images of artwork discussed here.  About the Frieze Masters Podcast  Exploring themes of identity, originality, geopolitics and Blackness through a historical lens, the new Frieze Masters Podcast is now available.

Hans Ulrich Obrist, Schweizer Star-Kurator, sammelt Handschriften von Künstlerinnen und Künstlern. Die Microsoftsystemschrift «Haettenschweiler» hat Kultstatus. Schriften prägen Produkte, Handschriften prägen unser Denken. Geht die Handschrift im digitalen Zeitalter verloren? Vom Wert der Handschrift in digitalen Zeiten Alle schreiben heute weniger von Hand als vor 20 Jahren, so viel ist klar. Und manche orakeln, dass die Handschrift ausstirbt. Und damit ein Ausdruck der Individualität. Tippen also alle bald nur noch auf den Computern herum? Welche Auswirkungen hätte der Verlust der Handschrift? Der Schweizer Kurator Hans Ulrich Obrist sammelt seit Jahren «Handschriften» von Künstlerinnen und Künstlern und zelebriert diese auf seinem Instagram-Kanal. Die Welt mitgestalten durch Schrift Der Zuger Schriftengestalter Walter F. Haettenschweiler zelebrierte ebenfalls die Schrift, die grafische Schrift. Und probierte aus, welche Wirkung die Typografie auf den Menschen hat. Seine Schriften stehen für ihre Zeit und sind heute doch aktueller denn je. Das zeigt eine grosse Ausstellung im Zürcher Museum für Gestaltung. Das Tagebuch als Komplizin «Das Schreiben war immer da», sagt die junge Kunstschaffende Lidija Burcak. Für sie war das Tagebuchschreiben lange ein Rückzugsort, ein Ort, an dem sie ganz sie selbst sein konnte. Bis sie vor ungefähr 6 Jahren begann, ihre Tagebucheinträge vor Publikum vorzulesen. Und feststellte, dass ihre Texte die Menschen zum Lachen bringen, berühren, zu Tränen rühren. Nun ist daraus ihr erstes Buch entstanden. Zeige mir deine Schrift und ich sage dir wer du bist Die Graphologie, also die Analyse von Handschriften, mit der man versucht, dem Charakter eines Menschen auf die Spur zu kommen, fasziniert viele. Bis vor ein paar Jahren wurde sie häufig bei Bewerbungsverfahren eingesetzt, doch das geschieht immer weniger. Spannend bleibt dieses Verfahren trotzdem und Eva Wannenmacher unterhält sich mit dem Präsidenten der SGG Schweizerischen Graphologischen Gesellschaft, Markus Furrer, über Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der Graphologie. Vom schönen Schreiben Und: «Kulturplatz» schickt Eva Wannenmacher in einen «HandLettering»-Workshop. Im Atelier Kokosweiss soll sie lernen, wie «Schönschreiben» professionell funktioniert. Ein «Kulturplatz» rund um das Kulturgut Schrift.

This Electronic Beats Podcast takes a different trajectory to our usual hosted format and this time we offer a panel talk discussion from the Equal eSports Festival at Digital X in Cologne. The panel addressed the role of equality and gaming in art with American new media artist Angela Washko, art collector Julia Stoschek and Antje Hundhausen, founder of the #equalesports initiative at Deutsche Telekom. In video games, performances and through digital interventions, Angela Washko explores the roots of misogyny in digital and physical spaces. One of her works is currently presented in the exhibition 'Worldbuilding - Videogames and Art in the Digital Age' in Düsseldorf, which is curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist on the occasion of the 15th anniversary of fellow panellist Julia Stoschek's Collection. Throughout the discussion the three talk on the relationship between gaming and art, the designers and artists behind them and the inherent issue of sexism, racism and homophobia experienced in games. The panellist's also exchange views on the lack of women's stories in the gaming world, pushing and blurring the boundaries, creating a safe space for women gamers and cancel culture in the eminent role-player game World of Warcraft. The discourse also leads to touch on the threads between gaming and the arts, making critical art in games, media-based artists and creators and choosing artists for exhibitions.

Den Schweizer Kurator Hans Ulrich Obrist lockt immer wieder das Experiment. Einfach ausprobieren, das ist sein Motto. Große Namen aus der internationalen Kunstwelt wie Dan Graham, Katharina Grosse, Pippilotti Rist oder Gerhard Richter hat er zu einer Runde „Cadavre Exquis“ überredet. Eine Zeichnung wird gefaltet und an die nächste Person weitergegeben. Ein lustvolles Spiel, das an Kinderzeiten erinnert, bei dem spontan Überraschendes und nicht Absehbares entsteht. Herausgekommen bei Obrists kreativen Spielrunden sind rund 200 Scribbles wie etwa ein denkender Blumentopf, eine Casio-Echse oder eine Augapfel-Hängematte. Hans Ulrich Obrist spricht über seinen nie endenden Ideendrang, über sein Buch „zusammen zeichnen“ und über seine Arbeit als künstlerischer Leiter der Londoner Serpentine Galleries.

Herbstreuth, Mikewww.deutschlandfunk.de, CorsoDirekter Link zur Audiodatei

Hella Jongerius' (1963, the Netherlands) work combines the traditional with the contemporary, the newest technologies with age-old craft techniques. She aims to create products with individual character by including craft elements in the industrial production process. Jongerius sees her work as part of a never-ending process, and the same is essentially true of all Jongerius' designs: they possess the power of the final stage, while also communicating that they are part of something greater, with both a past and an uncertain future. The unfinished, the provisional, the possible – they reside in the attention to imperfections, traces of the creation process, and the revealed potential of materials and techniques. Through this working method, Jongerius not only celebrates the value of the process, but also engages the viewer, the user, in her investigation. In 1993, after graduating at the Academy of Industrial Design in Eindhoven, she founded the Jongeriuslab studio, where independent projects as well as works for major clients are developed, including textile designs for the upholstery fabric company Maharam, the interior design of the Delegates' Lounge of the United Nations Headquarters in New York, cabin interiors for the airline KLM, the installation ‘Colour Recipe Research' at the invitation of curator Hans Ulrich Obrist for the MAK (Vienna) and the installation ‘A Search behind Appearances', a cooperation with Louise Schouwenberg commissioned by Serpentine Galleries. Recent projects include solo exhibitions at the Gropius Bau, Berlin (2021), Lafayette Anticipations (2019) and Nationalmuseum, Stockholm (2019). Her Space Loom #1 was acquired by Centre Pompidou in 2019. In 2017, Hella Jongerius was awarded the Sikkens Prize, one of the Netherlands' oldest independent art prizes given once every few years to individuals or institutions that are considered to have made a special contribution to the field of colour. In recent years Jongerius has been focussing on research projects, resulting in exhibitions such as Breathing colour (solo exhibition at the Design Museum, London, 2017) Interlace – textile research (solo exhibition at Lafayette Anticipations, Paris, 2019) and Woven Cosmos (solo exhibition at Gropius Bau, Berlin, 2021). Many of Jongerius' products can be found in the permanent collections of museums such as MoMA, New York, the Victoria and Albert Museum, London as well as Die Neue Sammlung, Munich, and Centre Pompidou, Paris. Since 2009 Hella Jongerius lives and works in Berlin.

A conversation with executive producer Marquise Stillwell; producer, cinematographer, and designer/animator Petter Ringbom; and co-producer Ashley Lukasik; moderated by András Szántó, author, cultural strategist, and Art Basel Conversations host. Taking place before the in-person screening of  The New Bauhaus - The life and legacy of Moholy-Nagy 2019, Documentary, 85 minutes Director/Producer: Alysa Nahmias In 1937, László Moholy-Nagy came to Chicago to start the New Bauhaus, an art institute that aimed to pioneer the development and dissemination of modern design. The film's narrative weaves original interviews with archival footage, voiceover, and stylized filming featuring Hans-Ulrich Obrist. The result is a new perspective view of a man who was ahead of his time and is increasingly relevant in today's contemporary art and design discourses. Following recent retrospectives of Moholy-Nagy's work at major museums, this film offers a more accessible and intimate, emotional journey through his life and his work as an artist, designer, visionary, and teacher. Moholy-Nagy believed that designing was “not a profession but an attitude,” he brought together art students and design students—something unheard of at the time—and challenged them to look at the world differently.

Avec Laure Adler, Hans Ulrich Obrist & Jean Frémon Lecture par Nathalie Richard Rencontre animée par Marie-Madeleine Rigopoulos « Lorsque j'ai proposé à Laure Adler d'inaugurer une série de livres d'entretiens, elle m'a tout de suite lancé le nom d'Etel Adnan. Leur rencontre a été intense. Il en ressort une obsession chez Etel Adnan : la recherche insatiable et l'amour de la beauté, avec la conviction que le monde d'aujourd'hui ne tolère pas la beauté. Dans ce livre qui est à la fois le récit d'une vie et une méditation dans l'âge avancé, Adnan revient sur son enfance et sa jeunesse dans une famille traditionnelle dont elle cherche à s'échapper dès 12 ans, découvrant alors la rue, la ville (Beyrouth), l'éclat du soleil sur la mer. Il n'est pas toujours facile d'être femme dans ces circonstances. Lorsqu'elle arrive à Paris au bénéfice d'une bourse, elle s'éprend à la fois de son professeur et d'une jeune camarade. C'est la double vie, tout comme elle sera toute sa vie à la fois poète (bilingue) et peintre. Etel Adnan revient sur son rapport à la langue, sur la lutte pour les droits des femmes, sur son homosexualité, sur l'art. La complicité avec Laure Adler ouvre toutes les portes. Etel Adnan vient de mourir à l'âge de 96 ans. » Bernard Comment Durant la soirée, Laure Adler dialoguera avec Hans-Ulrich Obrist, commissaire d'exposition, critique et historien d'art, codirecteur des expositions et directeur des projets internationaux de la Serpentine Gallery de Londres et Jean Frémon, écrivain et PDG de la Galerie Lelong (Paris et New York).
