Art In Conversation
Vera Lutter with Jean Dykstra
The German-born artist Vera Lutter is known for her ghostly, immersive camera-obscura photographs made in pinhole cameras that are sometimes the size of small rooms. Rather than printing positive images from a negative, she keeps the tonal values reversed, so that a bright daytime sky is impenetrably black, and solid structures appear to glow.

Takesada Matsutani with Charles M. Schultz
On the top floor of Hauser & Wirths Chelsea building Takesada Matsutani and his friend Olivier Renaud-Clément stand beside a massive paper scroll, thirteen meters long, that extends from the ceiling to their feet. It is from the early nineties and is covered in graphite that softly reflects the light coming in the gallery windows.

Joan Semmel with Amelia Jones
Joan Semmels work activates what painting can do to produce different ways of seeing, and thus different ways of thinking, that shift the position of certain bodies in the social sphere. I get the conversation started by asking Semmel some questions about her earliest work, her experience as an artist, and her turn to painting, before weaving in more complex questions about the relationship of her work to specific experiences shes had in the world.

A Tribute to Sylvère Lotringer
Anyone who has met Sylvère knows he held authority. He had clear, bold ideas, thoughts, strongly-held opinions. He had remarkable charisma. Even in his ailing days, over the last few years, any appearance of him kept everyone stillwhether people knew him or knew who he was, or whether they did not. However authority he could manifest, he stood against the very notion of authority: in his theoretical work, he embraced Deleuzes rhizome.

Hong Kong’s Contemporary Cultural Scene—public protests and beyond
By Paul GladstonFor the best part of the last decade, Hong Kong has been a major focus for the international news media because of continuing public protests there against the authority of Hong Kongs Beijing-backed legislature and, more recently, the imposition by Chinas central government of the so-called National Security Law (NSL) aimed at suppressing political dissent in the region.
