Hans Ulrich Obrist is one of the most celebrated curators working today and has twice been ranked #1 on ArtReview鈥檚 annual list of the most important people in the art world. As the primary or lead author of more than forty volumes of interviews with contemporary artists, of numerous exhibition catalogues for museums around the world, and of influential books on curation, he has established himself as a pivotal figure in contemporary art and culture. Drawn from Obrist鈥檚 writings, interviews, and other sources, Obrist-isms gathers a wealth of fascinating quotations from across his career, offering insights on everything from his approach to curating and his affinity with philosopher 脡douard Glissant to his interest in artists鈥� unrealized projects.

Obrist-isms is organized into seven thematic sections: Early Years; Curating and Exhibitions; Artists and Conversations; Archiving, Collecting, and Unrealized Projects; 脡douard Glissant and 惭辞苍诲颈补濒颈迟茅; On Sleep and Time; Art and the Environment; and Technology and the Future of Art. The book also features an introduction and a brief chronology of Obrist鈥檚 life and career.

• 鈥淚f there was ever a time that the world needed artists, it is now. We need their radical ideas, visions, and perspectives in society.鈥�
• 鈥淭here are many amazing unrealized projects out there: forgotten projects, misunderstood projects, lost projects, desk-drawer projects, poetic-utopian dream projects, unrealizable projects, partially realized projects, censored projects and so on.鈥�
• 鈥淚 believe in generosity as a medium.鈥�
