Hans Ulrich Obrist Book Launch at ARTBOOK @ Swiss Institute

Thursday, November 13 from 6-8PM, ARTBOOK and SWISS INSTITUTE (SI) invite you to join Hans Ulrich Obrist with Simon Castets, Andrew Durbin, Deanna Havas, Ho Rui An, Sophia Le Fraga and Asad Raza in celebrating the publication of Obrist's new book, Ways of Curating, published by FSG.

Hans Ulrich Obrist Book Launch at ARTBOOK @ Swiss Institute (SI)

SWISS INSTITUTE (SI)
18 WOOSTER STREET
NEW YORK CITY

Hans Ulrich Obrist curated his first exhibit in his kitchen when he was twenty-three years old. Since then he has staged more than 250 shows internationally, many of them among the most influential exhibits of our age.

Ways of Curating is a compendium of the insights Obrist has gained from his years of extraordinary work in the art world. It skips between centuries and continents, flitting from meetings with the artists who have inspired him (including Gerhard Richter, Louise Bourgeois, and Gilbert and George) to biographies of influential figures such as Diaghilev and Walter Hopps. It describes some of the greatest exhibitions in history, as well as some of the greatest exhibitions never realized. It traces the evolution of the collections from Athanasius Kircher's 17th-century Wunderkammer to modern museums, and points the way for projects yet to come. Hans Ulrich Obrist has rescued the word "curate" from wine stores and playlists to remind us of the power inherent in looking at art-and at the world-in a new way.
