In each episode we weave the artists' reflections through Axel's original soundscapes, as a collaborative exploration of their creative experience.The aim is to soften our tendency to intellectualise artwork, and instead create a sonic texture that is more intimate in its connection with the artist.Concept & Production by Lou Mensah Created by Axel KacoutiéInterludes is supported by Hauser & WirthRead more about this series in Hauser & Wirth Ursula Magazine Additional support by Frieze Membership, the community that champions art.
