Drawing on his own experiences and inspirations - from staging his first exhibition in his tiny Zurich kitchen in 1986 to encounters and conversations with artists, exhibition makers and thinkers alive and dead - Hans Ulrich Obrist's Ways of Curating looks to inspire all those engaged in the creation of culture. Moving from meetings with the artists who have inspired him (including Gerhard Richter and Gilbert and George) to the creation of the first public museums in the 18th century, recounting the practice of inspirational figures such as Diaghilev and Walter Hopps, skipping between exhibitions (his own and others), continents and centuries, Ways of Curating argues that curation is far from a static practice. Driven by curiosity, at its best it allows us to create the future.

In 2014, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the Fondation Cartier, Hans Ulrich Obrist imagined "The Infinite Conversation" - a title borrowed from Maurice Blanchot - a series of conversations with artists, scientists and thinkers close to the Fondation Cartier and its exhibition program. Since then, Hans Ulrich Obrist and the Fondation Cartier have renewed their collaboration. After Vivid Memories (2014), the exhibitions The Great Animal Orchestra (2016), Junya Ishigami, Freeing Architecture (2018), and Southern Geometries, from Mexico to Patagonia (2018) were the occasion of new "marathon dialogues" with other artists and contributors. The book, Infinite Conversations, gathers together all these 31 conversations in an invitation to transcend the borders between art disciplines.

'If artists betray the social conscience and the basic principles of being human, where does art stand then?' Ai Weiwei - artist, architect, curator, publisher, poet and urbanist - extended the notion of art and is one of the world's most significant creative and cultural figures. In this series of interviews, conducted over several years with the curator Hans Ulrich Obrist, he discusses the many dimensions of his artistic life, ranging over subjects including ceramics, blogging, nature, philosophy and the myriad influences that have fed into his work. He also talks candidly about his father, his childhood spent in exile and his criticism of the Chinese state. Together, these extraordinary discussions give a unique insight into the outstanding complexity of Ai Weiwei's thought and work, and are an essential reminder of the need for personal, political and artistic freedom.

"Since 2012, renowned curator Hans Ulrich Obrist has made a weekly contribution to Das Magazin, the weekend supplement of the Swiss Tages-Anzeigers newspaper, proposing, in the style of a diary, a survey of contemporary art and cultural current affairs. Week after week he reports on the main events, hot topics, and relevant issues of our times through the lens of his extensive knowledge.Offering a very open and globalized mapping of the 2010s, this anthology also reveals the personal cosmology of this curious-about-everything global citizen par excellence: from Etel Adnan and Lina Bo Bardi to Fischli/Weiss, from the importance of sharing and interdisciplinary thinking to the legacy of �douard Glissant and the need to take into account climate change.This publication offers 100 entries written between 2012 and 2017, a series of drawings by British artist David Shrigley, and a 'creative' index listing the names, places, books, and exhibitions mentioned in the columns.Part of the JRP Ringier Hapax Series."

Hans Ulrich Obrist met the old master of conceptual and media art several times, joined by, among others, the author Alejandro Cesarco. Baldessari gives insight into his multi-medial work and life. Again and again the discussion is about the interaction between text and image. He expresses himself precisely, critically and, as usual, with wit on issues such as the museum as institution, idea archives and unrealised projects, but also on his exhibitions of the past few years and retrospectives. English text.
