Every four weeks, three artists come together for an open discussion about their exhibitions, their practices, and the ideas shaping their work. Moderated by art advisor Roland-Philippe Kretzschmar (The Art Bystander) the conversation moves between the artworks, the artists’ perspectives, and the wider questions surrounding contemporary art today. After the discussion, the dialogue continues informally in the exhibition spaces.
