This article presents a conversation between artist Ali Cherri and writer Kaelen Wilson-Goldie, marking the second installment of a collaborative series between TextWork by Fondation Pernod Ricard and Mousse Magazine. The series features in-depth dialogues between artists from the TextWork program and magazine contributors, expanding on the traditional interview format, and is set to continue until 2027.
The collaboration matters because it deepens the discourse around contemporary art by pairing artists with thoughtful interlocutors, fostering nuanced exchanges that go beyond standard Q&A formats. The series also highlights the role of institutional partnerships—between a foundation and a magazine—in sustaining critical dialogue in the art world over multiple years.
