Quotes by Hans Ulrich Obrist  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“Whatever you do, do something else.”
Hans Ulrich Obrist, Do It

“I have always believed that it is the artist who creates a work, but a society that turns it into a work of art. - Johannes Cladders”
Hans Ulrich Obrist, A Brief History of Curating

“I don't believe in the creativity of the curator. I don't think that the exhibition-maker has brilliant ideas around which the works of artists must fit. Instead, the process always starts with a conversation, in which I ask the artists what their unrealized projects are, and then the task is to find the means to realize them.”
Hans Ulrich Obrist
