This collection of 13 essays, conversations, emails, and occasional texts showcases over a decade of work by art historian and theorist John C. Welchman, Distinguished Professor at the University of California, in collaboration with HISK (Higher Institute for Fine Arts) until its defunding in 2022. The texts reflect on the creative vitality, research-driven investigations, and critical thinking of HISK laureates across a wide spectrum of media. They explore the possibilities and limits of the studio visit as a space for dialogical, challenging, and critically engaged encounters, highlighting the risks, silences, and occasional uncanny insights of work-mediated conversation. In his preface, Welchman reflects candidly on his experiences and the stakes of co-producing knowledge through shared artistic encounters.
