BOOKS with Maria Lind

In this BOOKS program, curator and writer Maria Lind launches her recent anthology Seven Years, followed by Q&A with contributor and director Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy.

Seven Years is a subjective chronicle of contemporary art from 2011 to 2017. Published by Sternberg Press and designed by Metahaven, the anthology reflects upon the role of writing in debates that were emerging over the period - and that condition present practice in contemporary art in the international fold.

Introducing the book, Lind will reflect upon key themes and their current significance, as well as artistic collaborations that shaped the book with Goldin+Senneby, Metahaven, Ahmet Öğüt and Philippe Parreno. In conversation, Sofía Hernández Chong Cuy will also reflect on how writing can affect curatorial work, and the other way around, both for Lind and for herself.
