To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Judith Benhamou Reports, I invited five leading figures from the art world to speak with us in public: Glenn Lowry, Maja Hoffmann, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Lina Ghotmeh and Hans Ulrich Obrist. All the interviews are available on this site and on my YouTube channel.

Here is the fifth and final  episode in this short series.

It is devoted to an interview with the king of art-world interviewers, who is also the artistic director of the Serpentine Gallery in London, Hans Ulrich Obrist. Hans has an insatiable curiosity that surely stems from the fact that, at the age of six, a car accident left him bedridden for a long period. A story straight out of Marcel Proust. An appetite for discovery, an appetite for reading, an insatiable curiosity. “It awakened in me the awareness that each day could be the last.”

The Swiss boy, tirelessly encouraged by his parents and later by a few guardian-angel artists such as Peter Fischli and David Weiss or Christian Boltanski, has never really changed. Even today, without geographical or temporal limits, he continues to accumulate knowledge about art. Always with this sense of urgency… He tells us all about it.

 Enjoy watching!
