Hans Ulrich Obrist, the Artistic Director of the Serpentine Galleries in London, brings his curating expertise to the Instagram feeds of 380,000 followers, in an endeavour to revive the art of handwriting in the digital age.
The result is one of the most comprehensive looks at the art world from the inside: inclusive of artists, writers, designers, musicians, actors, architects and public figures, such as Virgil Abloh, Marina Abramonić, Tracey Emin, Jane Fonda, FKA twigs, Damien Hirst, David Hockney, Paul McCartney, Gerhard Richter, Agnès Varda and Vivienne Westwood.
In his open-ended project, Obrist collects an abundance of thoughts for the day, dreams, drawings, musings, jokes, quotations, questions, answers, poems, and puns from some of the world’s greatest contemporary artists, handwritten on everyday Post-it notes. From the reassuringly philosophical to the inspiringly straightforward, the ingeniously funny to the tenderly post-humous, Remember to Dream! (a note from American artist Carrie Mae Weems) paints a picture of the art world direct from many of the most celebrated artists of the twenty-first century.
The book features an introduction by Hans Ulrich Obrist and is designed by Amsterdam-based award-winning book designer Irma Boom.
