description: Everything you ever wanted to know about Hans Ulrich Obrist but were afraid to ask has been asked by the sixteen practitioners in this book. Spanning the beginning of his career as a young curator in his Zurich kitchen to his time most recently as the Co-Director of Exhibitions and Programs and Director of International Projects at the Serpentine Gallery in London the book is a production of reality conversations. It undertakes the pinning down this peripatetic curator attempting to map his psychogeography so that silences may be transcribed. In a sense it organizes a protest against forgetting and affirms the sagacity of an artist who told this dontstop curator don't go when he contemplated leaving the art world for other fieldsto go beyond the fear of pooling knowledgein lieu of bringing other fields into the (then) hermetic art world.
