Atlantic Re:think and Hauser & Wirth
This is a show that asks renowned artists to contemplate their own work. In season 3, we explore the idea that art is not fixed in time but reverberates—echoing and reimagining itself across past, present, and future.
Tune in as groundbreaking contemporary artists discuss the concepts that define their artistic outlook in all-new episodes from Hauser & Wirth and Atlantic Re:think, the creative marketing studio at The Atlantic.
