If "peripatetic" is the word most overused to describe him, it is not inappropriate. The Swiss-born, everywhere-based curator and head of the Programme Migrateurs at the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris has an unstoppable wanderlust and a related symptom: his penchant for interviewing anyone and everyone who piques his curiosity, be they artist, scientist, writer, curator, composer, architect, thinker, etc. Since 1993, Obrist has conducted more than 300 interviews, 75 of which are collected here in a selection that respects the cultural and professional diversity of the interviewees. Each interview is introduced by a short text outlining the biography of the interviewee and giving some contextual information on the recording of the interview.

Résumé:
Le cycle d'expositions d'art contemporain "La ville, le jardin, la mémoire", ouvert en 1998 à la Villa Médicis, s'achève en l'an 2000. Pour ce dernier volet du tryptique, l'accent est mis sur le jardin: aussi le parcours, se tient-il en dehors des salles d'exposition traditionnelles. Alors que 1999, -année de la mémoire-, insistait sur la dimension sonore et sur l'archéologie du lieu, les oeuvres disséminées dans le jardin de la Villa Médicis prennent en compte ses différentes facettes. Tel artiste à un souci d'ordre et de monumentalité, clairement affirmé dans le plan du XVIè siècle, tel autre à l'opposé, s'interroge sur la faune originelle et menacée d'un tel "espace vert", un troisième recrée, à sa manière, un labyrinthe comme les aiment les princes de la Renaissance. Comme les années précédentes, l'exposition a été l'occasion d'inviter des artistes venus de tous les continents, et de mêler les générations. Des artistes "historiques" tels que Daniel Buren, Giovanni Anselmo ou Dan Graham coexistent avec de plus jeunes, parmi lesquels les pensionnaires de l'Académie de France à Rome, eux-mêmes venus d'horizons divers.

Résumé:
In volume 16 of The Conversation Series, Hans Ulrich Obrist presents an in-depth exchange with the venerable German-born artist and activist Gustav Metzger, which illuminates the artist's fascinating life and 60-year career. In 1959, Metzger penned a manifesto of Auto-destructive art, which states in part, "Auto-destructive paintings, sculptures and constructions have a lifetime varying from a few moments to 20 years. When the disintegrative process is complete, the work is to be removed from the site and scrapped." In this volume, Metzger talks to Obrist about his past and present association with Auto-destructive art, how he has come to fuse his art practice with his political commitment to human rights and ecology, how he escaped the Holocaust at the age of 13 and the many projects he has yet to realize.

Résumé:
Volume 15 of The Conversation Series features a riveting dialogue between series editor and cultural catalyst Hans Ulrich Obrist and the renowned Italian designer Enzo Mari. More concerned with theoretical issues in design than commercial success, Mari is one of the most thoughtful and intellectually provocative designers of the late twentieth century. His work as a product and furniture designer, as well as a writer, teacher and artist, has proved influential both to his peers and to younger generations. In this volume, Mari discusses his iconic designs for cutting-edge production houses Danese, Olivetti and Castelli, his experience of the contradictory aspects of postwar Italy and his unique take on the design trends of the 1960s and 1970s. Enzo Mari was born in 1932 in Novara, Italy. He has most recently completed a series of tubular aluminum chairs for Vienna's Gebrüder Thonet and a collection for the Japanese home store Muji.

Résumé:
For a painter who has so successfully neutralized the declarative potential of his medium, Gerhard Richter has committed to print a surprisingly large amount of discussion on his work. For this new, complete edition of the writings, Richter has placed his private archive at the editor's disposal; most of the photographic material comes from this archive and has not been previously published. Includes public statements on specific exhibitions, private reflections drawn from personal correspondence, answers to questions posed by critics and journal excerpts discussing the intentions, methods and subjects of his works from various periods.

In the tradition of Obrist's now-legendary ongoing 24-Hour Interview Marathon, the crowds were standing-room-only and the action never stopped.

Résumé:
Luis Barragán’s house, Louis Kahn wrote after visiting it, is a place that “could have been built a hundred years ago or a hundred years from now.” So, in more ways than one, is The Air is Blue, an exhibition orchestrated in the master's house and studio by Hans Ulrich Obrist and Pedro Reyes, over the course of three years. The ever-growing list of participants comprised at the end forty-seven artists and contributors, including Francis Alÿs, Daniel Buren, Gilbert & George, Dominique Gonzales-Foerster, Joseph Grigely, Rem Koolhaas, Lygia Pape, Anri Sala, Ettore Sottsass, Rikrit Tiravanija, and Niele Toroni. Their interventions collided visions and conversations about poetry, urbanism, music, sexuality, art, and architecture. A catalogue was published in 2006, but never circulated. After ten years, this reprint consists on an integral black-and-white scan of the original book, with a small appendix of previously unpublished images and a new afterword written by Reyes. All on blue paper.
