Text Quotes
Making art is not the matter of a moment, and nor is making an exhibition; curating follows art  (Hans-Ulrich Obrist Quotes) In this new age of GPS, Google Earth and multidimensional digital maps, mapping is suddenly hugely relevant again.  (Hans-Ulrich Obrist Quotes) I think the art fair is very much a form of urbanism. I think something really happens to the cities when such a fair happens. The city becomes an exhibition; it’s amazing.  (Hans-Ulrich Obrist Quotes) I founded a club, which is called the Brutally Early Club. It’s basically a breakfast salon for the 21st century where art meets science meets architecture meets literature.  (Hans-Ulrich Obrist Quotes) I read whenever possible, and I buy books all the time, sometimes online, but mostly from bookshops. I love literature. If you want to understand art, it’s important to understand what is also happening in literature, in music, in science, in architecture.  (Hans-Ulrich Obrist Quotes) I’m very interested in the idea of unusual museums, ones that are not necessarily contemporary art museums - more like historical collections or house museums.  (Hans-Ulrich Obrist Quotes) I’m trying to expand the notion of curating. Exhibitions need not only take place in galleries, need not only involve displaying objects. Art can appear where we expect it least.  (Hans-Ulrich Obrist Quotes) During my time at high school and university in Kreuzlingen and St. Gallen, I traveled around Europe looking at art, visiting artists, studios, galleries and museums.  (Hans-Ulrich Obrist Quotes) I see a curator as a catalyst, generator and motivator - a sparring partner, accompanying the artist while they build a show, and a bridge builder, creating a bridge to the public.  (Hans-Ulrich Obrist Quotes) I spent 250 to 300 days of every year on the road. But in the end, I felt something was missing. I needed to be anchored so I could concentrate, so in 2000, I established a new methodology - the one I use today. I spent the week in my office and travelled every weekend, even at Christmas.  (Hans-Ulrich Obrist Quotes) Fly-in, fly-out curating nearly always produces superficial results; it’s a practice that goes hand in hand with the fashion for applying the word ‘curating’ to everything that involves simply making a choice - radio playlists, hotel decor, even the food stalls in New York’s High Line Park.  (Hans-Ulrich Obrist Quotes) Our economy’s growth functions by inciting us to produce more and more with each passing year. In turn, we require cultural forms to enable us to sort through the glut, and our rituals are once again directed towards the immaterial, towards quality and not quantity.  (Hans-Ulrich Obrist Quotes) I have many intense friendships with artists. I don’t mean we have intense one-day conversations but ongoing conversations that last in some cases for years.  (Hans-Ulrich Obrist Quotes) Switzerland felt incredibly narrow, growing up. It was good, in a way. There were so many museums. But it was always a no-brainer that I would have to leave, and I’m grateful for that.  (Hans-Ulrich Obrist Quotes)
