An interview with Professor Huey Copeland was published on October 17, 2025 in the catalog for the exhibition Echo Delay Reverb: American Art, French Thought, on view through February 2026 at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris. Copeland was interviewed by art historian and co-editor of the publication Elvan Zabunyan.
Echo Delay Reverb explores the transatlantic circulation of artistic forms and ideas through the works of some sixty artists, including Renée Green, Pope.L, Lorna Simpson, and Fred Wilson. Bringing together a range of media and several new commissions, the exhibition examines how U.S. art catalyzed the revolutionary energies of thinkers, activists and poets including Simone de Beauvoir, Michel Foucault, Jacques Derrida, Frantz Fanon, Jean Genet, Aimé Césaire, Jacques Lacan, Monique Wittig, Pierre Bourdieu and Edouard Glissant. Offering an original exploration of significant and often overlooked exchanges, the project highlights the dynamic interplay between American art and French thought across the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
