I am pleased with this conversation. Pierre d’Alancaisez, critic and curator of the art space Verdurin, speaks with us about our upcoming artwork and the theory behind it. Our optimism mirrors his pessimism, which allows us to articulate our stance on power and authority. It is a conversation about a world sliding into a multipolar, authoritarian, post-democratic reality — and what this means for art, for our art.
