Art World Pioneer Hans Ulrich Obrist Pens Memoir 'Life in Progress'
Art world luminary Hans Ulrich Obrist has penned his memoir, 'Life in Progress', during the early days of lockdown. The book offers a glimpse into the life of the renowned curator and artistic director of Serpentine Galleries, who believes in making art accessible to all.
Obrist's journey began in his teenage years when he staged his first exhibition in his kitchen. He later went on to become a curator at the Musée d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris. His memoir is filled with encounters with notable artists like Fischli & Weiss, Marina Abramovic, Louise Bourgeois, and Yoko Ono.
Inspired by an incident involving a taxi driver's daughter, Obrist started questioning the nature of art and took it out of its traditional environment. He emphasizes the importance of breaking down walls between different fields of knowledge and connecting with artists outside the world news. Growing up without easy access to art, Obrist found his own mentors, which led him to write the memoir for younger people.
'Life in Progress' is published by Allen Lane and available on amazon.co.uk. Obrist's memoir is a personal account of his journey in the world market, from his early years to his current role. It serves as an inspiration for those seeking to make a mark in the art world and make art accessible to everyone.
