''The Richter Interviews'' collects together a series of conversations between Hans Ulrich Obrist and Gerhard Richter over the course of more than two decades of discussion and collaboration. Subjects range from Richter's place within art history to artists books, architecture, religion, unrealised projects and his advice for young artists. The collection also includes a previously unpublished interview focused on Richter's much-lauded window for Cologne Cathedral, unveiled in 2007. Obrist's vast knowledge and interrogating mind coupled with his longstanding friendship with Richter make him a unique interlocutor for an artist whose work spans more than 60 years and ranges from painting to photography, glass to printmaking, watercolours to books.

Summary:
This book features Pousttchi’s new photographic installation at Nivola Museum in Orani on the Italian island of Sardinia. She chose the Metropolitan Life Building on 1 Madison Avenue in Manhattan as her subject for this piece. Criticized for its blatant Italian references at the time of its completion in 1909 — and the world’s tallest structure until 1913 — the building displays a hybrid identity, recalling cultural and temporal-spatial dislocations between the Old and the New World, Renaissance and Modernism.

Summary:
Catalogue de la 9e Biennale d'art contemporain de Lyon (19 septembre 2007 – 6 janvier 2008), conçu suivant les principes qui régissent la programmation de la manifestation organisée par Stéphanie Moisdon et Hans Ulrich Obrist. Cet ouvrage relève à la fois du jeu, de la cartographie et de l'expérience d'une écriture collective. Pensé comme un livre d'histoire et de géographie de l'art contemporain, il est le résultat d'une série d'investigations et de programmations des concepteurs de la manifestation et de Thierry Raspail. Réunissant 70 « joueurs » du monde entier (artistes, critiques et commissaires d'exposition) répartis entre deux cercles selon le type d'intervention demandé, le projet s'est développé autour d'une question centrale : « Comment définir la décennie actuelle ? ». S'il était proposé au premier cercle de choisir de choisir des réponses parmi ce que les artistes produisent aujourd'hui, il était demandé aux joueurs du second cercle de séquencer leurs choix ou de les confronter à d'autres. L'ensemble de ces subjectivités, cadrées par quelques règles de présentation (qui ? pourquoi ? comment ?), participent ici à un exercice de délimitation, de détourage et de recadrage d'une décennie et d'un objet – l'art – dont le tracé est de plus en plus indispensable. La publication s'accompagne d'essais inédits de et d'entretiens avec Mehdi Belhaj-Kacem, Stefano Boeri, François Cusset, Okwui Enwezor, Michel Houellebecq, Anselm Jappe, Paul Veyne et Ralph Rugoff.
