Bringing art to public
Esche’s work as a director of important European institutions, curator of major biennials, writer and publisher of critical texts has sought to investigate the role of art as a catalyst for social change and the societal or political contexts in which art comes to be made public. It’s not only a highly topical area of current debate, it is also fundamental to the history of modern art. His commitment to different forms of pedagogy and experimental institutional models has profoundly influenced exhibition practices today.
