Burlington Arcade | Talk: Omar Kholeif & Hans Ulrich Obrist

Join Gagosian and Phaidon to celebrate the publication of Omar Kholeif’s book, Internet_Art: From the Birth of the Web to the Rise of NFTs, in advance of its release by Phaidon in April 2023. In this survey, the author recounts the artists and events that have defined this mass medium from the inception of the World Wide Web in 1989 through today, tracing the key innovators from the emergence of browser-based art to the dawn of NFTs. Kholeif will speak with their friend Hans Ulrich Obrist, artistic director of the Serpentine Galleries, London, about the publication and how the internet has fostered new possibilities for artists, both analog and digital. After the talk, Kholeif will sign copies of the book, which is available for preorder and pickup at the shop, or for purchase at the event.
