One of the defining characteristics of Artists Space’s work is dialogue: dialogue between artists, writers, scholars, theorists and our audiences.
Artists Space Dialogues takes the simple format of a public conversation between two people. Every month renowned art historian Bettina Funcke will talk with an influential figure in the field of contemporary art and visual culture, investigating their work and thinking, their histories, trajectories, and processes.
Writer and editor Bettina Funcke is author of Pop or Populus: Art between High and Low (Sternberg Press, 2009). As Head of Publications for dOCUMENTA (13), she produced a range of publications that included the notable series 100 Notes – 100 Thoughts.
She leads seminars on contemporary art in the ”Critical Theory and the Arts” Masters Program at School of Visual Arts. As a teacher, in her writings, dialogues, as well as her publishing projects, Funcke focuses on individual artists or thinkers, placing them in the context of a rapidly changing public realm in which art’s growing popularity is inversely proportional to an increasing sense of political powerlessness. Recent publications included texts on Wade Guyton, Sarah Morris, and the state of the copy, as well as conversations with Laura Poitras, Fia Backström, and Robert Hullot-Kentor.
Funcke co-founded The Leopard Press, which recently published Fuck Seth Price, a novel by Seth Price.
