The Secession Talks. Exhibitions in Conversation brings together the artists' talks on the exhibitions that took place at the Vienna Secession from 2011 to 2022. Beyond its significance as an archive, it constitutesa highly topical platform for knowledge, ideas, and concepts about art and the world. The conversations are always improvised and spontaneous, the interlocutors lead and seduce each other to formulate thoughts, daringly, playfully, seriously, convincingly, but for no one predictable-the best conditions for new connections of ideas, new contexts. Surprising insights into the process of making a work or an exhibition, into aesthetic decisions, biographical and political contexts.
