This is a superb collection of interviews with some of the most significant and influential names in art, architecture, film, music, history, literature and philosophy from the 20th and 21st centuries. Since 1993, renowned curator, writer, cultural instigator, professional conversationalist - and currently Co-director of Exhibitions and Programmes and Director of International Projects at the Serpentine Gallery in London - Hans Ulrich Obrist has been conducting interviews with some of the most significant architects, artists, filmmakers, historians, musicians, philosophers, and writers of the 20th and 21st centuries. "Interviews Volume 2" brings together 70 interviews, taken from an archive of nearly 2,000 hours of recordings that reveal an intellectual geology of the last 100 years. Encyclopaedic in scope and intimate in tone, these exchanges produce an array of biographical trajectories, cultural experiments, theoretical adventures, unrealized projects, and unknown epiphanies.
