One | On | One lecture series

Some encounters are life-changing. A single artwork can form or influence a curator’s trajectory and vision, while some exhibitions prove decisive for an artist’s practice.

In this series of talks, an artist and a curator focus on a single artwork and an exhibition that has been pivotal for their career and collaboration.
