Hans Ulrich Obrist, Infinite Conversations

Description

A collection of 31 conversations Hans Ulrich Obrist has held with thinkers and scientists on art, science and philosophy In 2014, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Fondation Cartier, Hans Ulrich Obrist imagined 'The Infinite Conversation' - a title borrowed from Maurice Blanchot - a series of conversations with artists, scientists and thinkers close to the Fondation Cartier and its exhibition programme. Since then, Hans Ulrich Obrist and the Fondation Cartier have renewed their collaboration. After Vivid Memories (2014), the exhibitions The Great Animal Orchestra (2016), Junya Ishigami, Freeing Architecture (2018), and Southern Geometries, from Mexico to Patagonia (2018) were the occasion of new 'marathon dialogues' with other artists and contributors. The book, Infinite Conversations, gathers together all these 31 conversations in an invitation to transcend the borders between art disciplines.

Hans Ulrich Obrist has been Co-Director of International Exhibitions and Programs and Direction of International Projects at the Serpentine Gallery since 2006. His Interview project so far comprises nearly 2,000 hours of conversations.
