LSE Literary Weekend 'Talking Pictures' series
Hans Ulrich Obrist was born in Zurich in May 1968. He joined the Serpentine Gallery as Co-director of Exhibitions and Programmes and Director of International Projects in April 2006. Prior to this he was Curator of the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris since 2000, as well as curator of museum in progress, Vienna, from 1993-2000. He has curated over 200 exhibitions internationally since 1991, including do it, Take Me, I’m Yours (Serpentine Gallery), Cities on the Move, Live/Life, Nuit Blanche, First Berlin Biennale, Manifesta 1, and more recently Uncertain States of America, First Moscow Triennale, Second Guangzhou Triennale (Canton China), and Lyon Biennale.
In 2007, Hans Ulrich co-curated Il Tempo del Postino with Philippe Parreno for the Manchester International Festival. In the same year, the Van Alen Institute awarded him the New York Prize Senior Fellowship for 2007-2008.
Hans Ulrich has written a number of books including a Conversation Series with artists and architects such as Zaha Hadid and Glibert & George, and most recently Formulas for Now is the seminal part of an ongoing project during which he invited over 100 contributors from the fields of art, science, mathematics, performance, music, architecture, design, literature and sociology to devise their own unique equation to express their understanding of contemporary life in the twenty-first century- including David Adjaye, J.G.Ballard, Louise Bourgeois, Richard Dawkins, Damien Hirst, Michel Houellebecq, Yoko Ono and Peter Saville.
This is part of the LSE Space for Thought Literary Weekend, the LSE's first ever Literary Festival, celebrating the completion of the New Academic Building.
