Leading artists, writers, musicians and directors take part in 24-hour interview ‘marathon’ in the park

Serpentine Gallery Marathon: London is the first of two 24-hour non-stop Interview Marathons being staged in and around the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2006, designed by Rem Koolhaas and Cecil Balmond, with Arup. The Interview Marathons are part of the Time Out Park Nights at the Serpentine Gallery programme.

Guests come from a spectrum of fields and disciplines - from artists and writers to scientists and historians, and include David Bailey, Zygmunt Bauman, Hussein Chalayan, Brian Eno, Gilbert and George, Zaha Hadid, Richard Hamilton, Damien Hirst, Jude Kelly, Hanif Kureishi, Doris Lessing, Ken Loach, Gautam Malkani, Richard Rogers, and Juergen Teller.

Developed and hosted by Hans Ulrich Obrist and Rem Koolhaas, Serpentine Gallery Marathon: London has been devised in association with a team of guest advisers. The marathons are an extension of Hans Ulrich Obrist’s renowned interview series, but also of other projects and exhibitions on which he has collaborated with Rem Koolhaas, such as Cities on the Move and Mutations, which explored notions of the city and how to create a ‘portrait’ of ever-changing cities at a given moment.

The event will be recorded and a publication created, making an archive of a moment in time of 21st century London. “The Interview Marathons treat the past as a toolbox with which to make an almost archaeological slice of the present," comments Obrist, “they are also intended as ongoing research that can lead to exhibitions, projects, publications and all manner of future collaborations."

Rem Koolhaas’ intention was for the Pavilion to be ‘architecture of content,’ with particular attention paid to the conversations, discussions and events that take place within it. Beyond exhibitions, this project raises the question of how new communication methods and formats can be created for discussing culture and society, encouraging both a venturing out from art into other disciplines and a crossover of their respective audiences.

Julia Peyton-Jones, Director of the Serpentine Gallery said: “This is a most exciting development for the Serpentine Gallery’s programmes, and we hope, for London."

Serpentine Gallery Pavilion

Each summer, the Serpentine commissions an internationally acclaimed architect to design a temporary Pavilion for its lawn. The programme is unique worldwide. Conceived by Julia Peyton-Jones, Director, Serpentine Gallery, the project represents a rare opportunity for architects to create a more experimental structure in the United Kingdom, where none of those invited has ever built before. Those selected previously are Zaha Hadid, 2000, Daniel Libeskind with Arup, 2001, Toyo Ito with Arup, 2002, Oscar Niemeyer, 2003, MVRDV, 2004 (unrealised) and A'lvaro Siza and Eduardo Souto de Moura with Cecil Balmond - Arup, 2005.

Time Out Park Nights at the Serpentine Gallery includes the 24-hour Interview Marathons, 50ft open-air film screenings of Performance and Blue Velvet (4 & 5 August), Friday night talks, Pavilion screenings and artists’ events at the Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2006.
