His show&amp;nbsp;Suspended States&amp;nbsp;is at Serpentine from 12th&amp;nbsp;April until September 1st 2024 and is his first London solo exhibition in over 20 years. “Artists are always utopian in their thinking, but then somehow we always fail this utopia, because it’s never actually realised.” “I was asking myself if can I make a work of art that’s really about nothing. Literally about wind.” “I don’t want to make literal abstractions, but I can get to the sublime through reality.” Alain Elkann Interviews https://www.alainelkanninterviews.com/ <iframe title="Libsyn Player" style="border: none" src="//html5-player.libsyn.com/embed/episode/id/31938837/height/90/theme/custom/thumbnail/yes/direction/forward/render-playlist/no/custom-color/ea6c35/" height="90" width="600" scrolling="no" allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen></iframe> https://assets.libsyn.com/secure/content/173865977
