I met him in Paris at the fondation Cartier and he kindly autographed me one of his books!

[@santiagosemino2299]

After watching this video, I have come to the conclusion that Hans Ulrich Obrist has reached artistic enlightenment.

[@MAMMediaArtMorocco]

Hallelujah...!

[@PatriciaSantos-bw3mr]

your interview is like a fresh sharp wind... that crushed in my mind... great mind do you have .... Bravo !

[@kensartspage5073]

Just listened to a 175 rpm record that dropped 2, 957 names in the art world.

[@horaciogamarra9810]

I couldn't agree more

[@anodyne57]

Yet the connections he made between the names and the projects was absolutely coherent. Which you failed to notice. That's not necessarily a fault of yours, since it's not easy to follow such dense, experience-reliant trains of thought, especially if you don't have a lot of experience following artists and exhibitions on a world-wide basis. But this is true in any field.

Love the kitchen. All our parties would end up with the last few congregating in the kitchen. We even moved the couch to the kitchen in the end.

[@nabomoca3]

[@nadraabdi7867]

If there’s anything I’m appreciative of this video for and Hans in particular, is introducing me to Edouard Glissant ❤

[@doug55555]

huo why you so smart and energetic

[@marciacrosby6170]

This work, his ideas, come together as a sort of 'curatorial performance'--in both his speaking and his different ideas. There is also a 'poetic' flow following the idea of the archipelago -- many parts of a whole, yet each part distinct--as a form of utopia.

[@youdunnos1818]

[@seifee]

[@711LOVE1]

He talks without any care about the listener. Love, and only after that you can teach. a robot would read that text better, man. Calm down.

[@marciacrosby6170]

I just changed the speed on the 'video' to .75; he is worth listening to a few times.

[@generaltheory]

I'm listening @ 2x and I'd go 2.5x, pussies
