Galerie Chantal Crousel is pleased to host a conversation between Sara Nadal-Melsió and Anri Sala on the occasion of the recent publication of Europe and the Wolf: Political Variations on the Musical Figure (Zone Books, 2025).

Former Whitney ISP Associate Director Sara Nadal-Melsió is a NYC-based Catalan writer, curator, and educator committed to collaborative thinking, alternative literacies, and collective learning practices.
Anri Sala constructs transformative, time-based works through multiple relationships between image, architecture, and sound, employing these as elements to fold, capsize, and question experience.

In Europe and the Wolf, Sara Nadal-Melsió explores how the work of several contemporary artists illuminates the current crisis of European universalist values amid the brutal realities of exclusion and policing of borders. The “wolf” is the name Baroque musicians gave to the dissonant sound produced in any attempt to temper and harmonize an instrument. Europe and the Wolf brings this musical figure to bear on contemporary aesthetic practices that respond to Europe’s ongoing social and political contradictions.
