FEBRUARY Artist Talk: Daniel Salomon


Thursday 14 February, Danish-French artist Daniel Salomon introduced his work as a visual artist who works in all media. The talk was hosted at art and design shop MarMarco, off Brick Lane. Salomon talked about how the philosophy of the utopian world language Esperanto is an integral part of his artistic practice and act as a framework for his interest in science, marketing, food, politics, and more. Would there be peace if all spoke the same language? How do you find a global aesthetics? Salomon deals with these important issues in a body of work that is socially engaged and cool to look at. For his next project, he will present erotic poems in Esperanto!
