Hans Ulrich Obrist talks to Kirsty Lang

Life in Progress: A Conversation on the Power of Art

 – Discovery Stage

Fire up your creative impulses, as the artistic director of the Serpentine Galleries praises the extraordinary powers of art. Hans Ulrich Obrist speaks to BBC broadcaster Kirsty Lang about how art drives our imagination and even helps us to heal. Before joining London’s Serpentine Gallery, Obrist was a curator at the Paris Musée d’Art Moderne. Drawing on his memoir Life in Progress, he looks back on the first time he connected with art after a car accident at the age of six, which led him to spend weeks in hospital. He recalls the many exhibitions he’s curated in galleries, hotels and even in his own kitchen.
