Feels kinda slow at times but I guess that's the point of conversations and interviews too. Enjoyed thoughts of exhibition-making as a medium, curator as someone who bridges then disappears, "the best collectors are those who by time" (for the art), etc
The hardest working man in Artshow-business tells us how well connected to creatives he is for about 200 pages. There may be a purpose beyond that, but it escapes me at the moment.
As Hans Ulrich Obrist himself points out, interview tend to become repetitive over time. Anyway, it is always amazing to wander through the realm of HUO, to try understand what it means to be THE Curator. The interviews sum up his career and life, even if they tend to always highlight, sometimes in a narcissistic and self referential way, the same two or three matters: the importance of history and memory, the kitchen exhibition and the smallest sorts of exhibitions which sound in a way ground b...
repetitive but sweet
this book reads like some kind of case study...
A little repetitive, but captures a lot of HUO's ethos and perspectives as it relates to what curation can be, beyond models of institutions, collections, and white cubes.
Really enjoyed thsi book and found it a good read that broke down and inspired me to learn more about curation and the art'ss process.Enjoyed the interview style of the book and how he explored more of his own tastes and interests.
Overall, I'm happy I read it as I have been curious about art curation.Loads of interesting bits here and there, but lots of wandering. Maybe because I don't know much of his work. It feels like it could be much further edited to focus on Hans' brilliant work and ideas with the in-betweens.
Really enjoyable read that also introduced me to so many exhibitions, projects, artists, writers, thinkers and curators.

Although it seems as if this book will be about the influential, international, contemporary art curator Hans Ulrich Obrist, actually, the book is about itself. It’s a meta sort of publication that asserts its editorial choices so frequently that delving into the content of the subject’s thoughts becomes particularly challenging. I should’ve known this from just glancing at the back cover, which provides a summary of sorts, with phrases crossed out for emphasis and a character called the interfi...
