The Lync, founded by Mahsan Shams, is an interview platform dedicated to fostering dialogue and critical reflection with artists and cultural practitioners. The conversations extend beyond biography to explore the ideas, contradictions, and experiences that shape art and its discourses today, encouraging the intercommunication of ideas across different practices and contexts.
By linking generations, geographies, and approaches, The Lync opens a space where knowledge and experience circulate freely. The intention is to create new connections across the art world by supporting forms of knowledge-sharing that emerge through dialogue and reflection, moving between local practices and global conversations. Sharing nurtures creativity and innovation, allowing ideas to generate further ideas and contributing to a collective intelligence that grows through exchange.
At times the discussions take on a philosophical register, at others they remain closer to personal narrative, aiming to deepen the way art and its place in the world can be thought and felt.
