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 constitutes a 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.
