Gesine Borcherdt : Dream On Baby

Presented by the author

in English

Childhood never leaves us. For many artists, it was the trigger for making art in the first place, and is still what drives them today. For Dream On Baby, Gesine Borcherdt asked 33 artists, including Ai Weiwei, Marina Abramović, Lynda Benglis, Vaginal Davis, Marcel Dzama, Mona Hatoum, Jeff Koons, Mary-Audrey Ramirez, Gregor Schneider, and Jordan Wolfson, about their memories of childhood. The result is an anthology of deeply personal stories, by turns tragic, funny, and heartbreaking, but always surprising.

Accompanied by never-before-seen childhood photographs and drawings, Dream On Baby sheds new light on what it means to make art.
