Artkrush interviewed Marc-Olivier Wahler last month about his recent appointment to Director of the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. The interview is pretty good, as Wahler (whom I never met from Swiss Institute, but saw some of his curated shows) is definitely fighting for very specific concerns, and is especially mindful of younger artists – the ‘MODULES’ concept is particularly exciting – as well as how information is distributed to the public (as in their newly launched quarterly Palais).
And I have to say Wahler’s final comments about mobility in Europe made me – and I’ve already been contemplating this a lot lately – reminisce about my time in London versus my time in NYC which is, as Wahler highlights, difficult at best — there really is a difference of ‘time’ based on one’s locality.
