Hans Ulrich Obrist & Tacita Dean: The Conversation Series
Volume 28
British video artist and filmmaker Tacita Dean (born 1965) is internationally admired for her patient and sensitive approach to her subject matter, explored in conversation with Hans Ulrich Obrist in this collection of in-depth interviews. In her Berlin studio, at a conference and on a train journey, they discuss her film portraits of architectural structures and personalities such as Merce Cunningham, Michael Hamburger, Mario Merz and Cy Twombly; her fervent collecting and reworking of analogue material--postcards, four-leaf clovers, albumen prints--and the things that have informed and influenced her artistic output over the past two and a half decades. The result is a broad and invaluable introduction to one of the most important British artists of our times, full of fascinating anecdotes and insights into her working methods and illustrated with black-and-white images of her work.
