Last museum/gallery you visited:

Mass MoCA in North Adams Massachusetts

“The Burnout Society” by Byung Chul Han

Place you wish to see your work exhibited one day:

Turbine Hall at the Tate Modern or even the New Gallery in Berlin, are both dream sites.

Exhibition you enjoyed and why:

Glenn Kaino’s work at Mass MoCA. The sheer scale, immersiveness and multi sensorial experience of sound, visuals, shadow motion, installation, lighting design and moving through a dark space slowly really gripped my imagination. Also, ERRE, his powerful object based, critical of North American politics artworks really felt like a win for all marginal causes, spoken from the artworld an into larger society.
