'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.

Roberto Matta, Cecilia Vicuña, Alfredo Jaar, Paz Errázuriz and others offer insight into Chilean art and politicsThis volume looks closely at the Chilean experimental art scene, in which practitioners have mastered avant-garde strategies and encouraged cultural dissidence. Over the past five years Hans Ulrich Obrist interviewed three generations of Chilean artists, performers and writers, many of whom worked despite the horrific violence and censorship of the Pinochet dictatorship and now navigate through the hazy context that surrounds the post-dictatorial nation in the 21st century. This unique constellation of practices has become a model for a particular mode of postmodernism based on research and experimentation. The stunning archival images and extensive interviews organized chronologically with Roberto Matta, Juan Pablo Langlois, Catalina Parra, Sylvia Palacios Whitman, Carmen Beuchat, Eugenio Dittborn, Paz Errázuriz, Juan Dávila, Gonzalo Díaz, Cecilia Vicuña, Diamela Eltit, Raúl Zurita, Alfredo Jaar and Seba Calfuqueo offer a deeply personal insight into Chile‿s evolving culture.

The Brazilian painter Maxwell Alexandre, 32, has soared rapidly in the art world, with solo exhibitions at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, the MAC Lyon, the David Zwirner Gallery in London, and recently the Shed, New York, and La Casa Encencida in Madrid. Formerly a professional roller-skater from Rochina, a favela of Rio de Janeiro, Alexandre includes references to the local culture, from scenes of confrontation with the police to symbols of football or church. Popular culture, in the form of logos, brands, and iconic personalities, also populates his work. ¿It was not a political choice. It was a self-portrait. I¿m Black, I¿m painting Black people. The first four paintings I did on pardo [Pardo é Papel series] were self-portraits before I realized the meaning of pardo. I never wanted to be a banner of the identity of Black people in the favela, but it was my own identity,¿ he explains.In this book, Maxwell Alexandre presents his new series, ¿Delivery¿. In this new body of work, he moves away from the brown kraft paper that has been the signature support for his ¿Pardo é Papel¿ series, to painting directly onto doors. As the name suggests, at the center of this series are the (mostly) men and women who assure the food delivery services that have become ubiquitous worldwide. Maxwell Alexandre¿s work is in the Pinacoteca de São Paulo, the Museu de arte de São Paulo (MASP) and the Museu de Arte do Rio (MAR) collections. The artist was in residency at the Delfina Foundation (London, 2018), then later at the MAC Lyon (2019). He is represented by the gallery A Gentil Carioca (Rio).

A definitive and timely monograph celebrating the work of ground-breaking conceptual artist Cerith Wyn Evans Cerith Wyn Evans is one of today's most respected and acclaimed sculptors. Born in Wales and educated through his first language of Welsgh, his work reflects his fascination with literature, film, music, and philosophy. Evans is an artist interested in language and how this can be perceived in spatial terms. Originally an experimental filmmaker, in the 1990s Evans started creating sculptures and installations defined by poetic conceptualism and elegant aesthetic forms. Often made of neon light, his pieces subtly disrupt existing systems of communication, either through the subversion and alteration of given spatial forms or by adopting a communal rather than a singular, authoritarian voice. In 2003 Evans represented Wales at the country's inaugural pavilion at the 50th Venice Biennale. This book, the first comprehensive study dedicated to his work, includes contributions by luminaries such as the former Guggenheim Chief, Nancy Spector and the 2011 Venice Biennale director, Daniel Birnbaum, together with a previously unpublished text by Evans himself.

«Ein denkender Blumentopf, eine Casio-Echse oder eine Augapfel-Hängematte: heisst das lustvolle Spiel mit gefaltetem Papier, das einst die Surrealist*innen spielten. Mehrere Personen konstruieren zusammen eine Zeichnung, ohne dass die Mitspieler*innen den jeweils vorhergehenden Teil der Arbeit sehen. Wir falten das Papier auf und amüsieren uns über den kollektiven Nonsens. Kurator Hans Ulrich Obrist hat dieses Spiel in den letzten Jahren immer wieder gespielt - mit Dan Graham, Katharina Grosse, Pippilotti Rist, Gerhard Richter und vielen mehr. So sind an die 200 solcher Scribbles entstanden. Das Buch zelebriert die Handzeichnung in Zeiten von Voice Messages. Und vor allem ist es ein Aufruf, nicht nur die Zeichnungen anzuschauen, sondern es selbst zu tun. Zeichnen, falten, zeichnen, falten, zeichnen, falten!»- David Glanzmann, Museum im Bellpark, Kriens

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.

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.

On September 29, 2018, before a live audience at Navy Pier in Chicago, international curator Hans Ulrich Obrist conducted his first US Marathon interview session as part of Art Design Chicago, a yearlong celebration of Chicagos art and design legacy initiated by the Terra Foundation for American Art.

Hans Ulrich Obrist has been Co-Director of International Exhibitions and Programs and Direction of International Projects at the Serpentine Gallery since 2006. His Interview project so far comprises nearly 2,000 hours of conversations.

A highly provocative, mindbending, beautifully designed, and visionary look at the landscape of our rapidly evolving digital era.50 years after Marshall McLuhan's ground breaking book on the influence of technology on culture in The Medium is the Massage, Basar, Coupland and Obrist extend the analysis to today, touring the world that's redefined by the Internet, decoding and explaining what they call the 'extreme present'. THE AGE OF EARTHQUAKES is a quick-fire paperback, harnessing the images, language and perceptions of our unfurling digital lives. The authors offer five characteristics of the Extreme Present (see below); invent a glossary of new words to describe how we are truly feeling today; and 'mindsource' images and illustrations from over 30 contemporary artists. Wayne Daly's striking graphic design imports the surreal, juxtaposed, mashed mannerisms of screen to page. It's like a culturally prescient, all-knowing email to the reader: possibly the best email they will ever read. Welcome to THE AGE OF EARTHQUAKES, a paper portrait of Now, where the Internet hasn't just changed the structure of our brains these past few years, it's also changing the structure of the planet. This is a new history of the world that fits perfectly in your back pocket. 30+ artists contributions: With contributions from Farah Al Qasimi, Ed Atkins, Alessandro Bavo, Gabriele Basilico, Josh Bitelli, James Bridle, Cao Fei, Alex Mackin Dolan, Thomas Dozol, Constant Dullaart, Cecile B Evans, Rami Farook, Hans-Peter Feldmann, GCC, K-Hole, Liam Gillick, Dominique Gonzalez-Foerster, Eloise Hawser, Camille Henrot, Hu Fang, K-Hole, Koo Jeong-A, Katja Novitskova, Lara Ogel, Trevor Paglen, Yuri Patterson, Jon Rafman, Bunny Rogers, Bogosi Sekhukhuni, Taryn Simon, Hito Steyerl, Michael Stipe, Rosemarie Trockel, Amalia Ulman, David Weir, Trevor Yeung.
