If "peripatetic" is the word most overused to describe Hans-Ulrich Obrist, it is not inappropriate. The Swiss-born curator and head of the Programme Migrateurs at the Musee d'Art Moderne de la Ville de Paris has an unstoppable wanderlust and a related symptom; his penchant for interviewing anyone and everyone who piques his curiosity, be they artist, scientist, writer, curator, composer, architect, thinker. Since 1993, Obrist has conducted more than 300 interviews, about 80 of which are collected here in a selection that respects the cultural and professional diversity of the interviewees. Each interview is introduced by a short text outlining the biography of the interviewee and giving some contextual information on the recording of the interview.
