Remember to Dream!
100 Artists, 100 Notes
Edited with preface by Hans Ulrich Obrist.
Poetry on a Post-it: thoughts, dreams, jokes, quotations, questions and puns by some of the world’s foremost artists, writers, designers, musicians and actors, from Yoko Ono and Jane Fonda to Jonas Mekas and Grimes
In Remember to Dream!, celebrated curator Hans Ulrich Obrist collects an abundance of thoughts for the day, dreams, drawings, musings, jokes, quotations, questions, answers, poems and puns from some of the world’s greatest contemporary artists, musicians and more, handwritten on Post-it notes (and other scraps).
From the reassuringly philosophical to the inspiringly straightforward, the ingeniously funny to the tenderly posthumous, Remember to Dream! (titled after a note by Carrie Mae Weems) paints a picture of the art world direct from many of the most celebrated creative figures of the 21st century. These include BTS, Marina Abramovic, Tracey Emin, FKA twigs, Gilbert & George, Grimes, Zaha Hadid, Pharrell Williams, Zadie Smith, David Lynch, Jonas Mekas, Frank Ocean, Yoko Ono, Eileen Myles, Arca and Vivienne Westwood.
The book features a preface by Hans Ulrich Obrist and is designed by award-winning book designer Irma Boom.
Featured Post-it, by Brian Eno, is reproduced from ‘Remember to Dream!'.
PRAISE AND REVIEWS
Artnet
Jo Lawson-Tancred
The quips often offer a strikingly candid view into the artists’ perspective, in just a few words.
Artsy
Josie Thaddeus-Johns
A meandering, charming take on contemporary life, narrated through short snippets from some of today’s greatest minds, from Tim Berners-Lee to FKA twigs. It celebrates handwriting, an increasingly rare method of communication, and offers rare intimate encounters with famous figures from across cultural spheres.
