Dans cette conférence tenue à l'École normale supérieure de Paris, il apparaît que l'essentiel du travail du curator réside dans la discussion avec les artistes et la maïeutique de la pensée.

Summary:
Né en 1910 en Hongrie, László Elkán arrive à Paris en 1929. Attiré d’abord par la peinture, la musique et la mode, il commence à photographier en 1938 pour Marianne Magazine. Militant communiste, il rejoint dès 1941 les rangs de la Résistance sous le nom de Lucien Hervé. Proche de l’école française humaniste d’après-guerre, sa carrière prend un tournant décisif en 1949 lorsque, grâce au Père Couturier, ami de Matisse, il rencontre Le Corbusier. Photographe attitré de l’architecte jusqu’au décès de ce dernier en 1965, il collabore, entre autres, avec Alvar Aalto et Oscar Niemeyer, et est également reconnu pour ses images de l’abbaye du Thoronet et de l’Escorial. Son œuvre a été exposée dans de nombreux musées et galeries à travers le monde. Dans cet entretien, réalisé avec l'aide de Federico Nicolao, il revisite avec sincérité et passion ses années de travail.

Summary:
Over the course of about ten years, Hans Ulrich Obrist and Matthew Barney met several times to discuss Barney's past work, current projects and his plans for the future. The resulting collection of interviews provides a rare insight into how the work and working method of one of the most prominent artists of a generation has developed over time, and uncovers the ideas, influences and collaborations that lie behind his multi-layered and multimedia creative output. The conversation covers all of his major pieces to date, from the internationally acclaimed "Cremaster" cycle to the somewhat less well-known "Drawing Restraint" series, as well as looking at particular projects in more detail, such as the recent "Khu" performance and Barney's participation in "Il Tempo del Postino," curated by Obrist at the 2007 Manchester International Festival.
