Curating Art, Curating Science, Curating Architecture: a Lecture by 
Hans Ulrich Obrist
 
Hans Ulrich Obrist delivers a lecture about his curatorial practice and 
puts the spotlight on curating as a process that expands to include not 
only art in its limited sense but a wider scope of creative activities.
 
Hans Ulrich Obrist
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 150 exhibitions internationally since 1991, 
including "do it", "Take Me, I'm Yours" (Serpentine Gallery), "Cities 
on the Move", "Live/Life", "Nuit Blanche", 1st Berlin Biennale, 
Manifesta 1, and more recently "Uncertain States of America", 1st 
Moscow Triennale, 2nd 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.
