The exhibition RAINBOW SERPENT (VERSION) was conceived in close dialogue between the artist Daniel Boyd and the curators Stephanie Rosenthal and Carolin Köchling. In this conversation Daniel Boyd and Carolin Köchling speak about the topics of time and space, non-linearity and opacity that guided the conception of the exhibition.
