Ne Me Quitte Pas

For Spike’s 13th artist talk at Soho House Berlin, Karl Holmqvist unpacked the function of language and memory in visual arts and how repetition both retains speech and text and alters their meaning over time, drawing on his non-narrative, non-linear practice of language – as patterns, sounds, and signs – in spoken-word performances, artist’s books, and room-size installations.
