What an intriguing read by Kelly Crow in The Wall Street Journal. Kelly highlights how the art market is being reshaped by the tastes and unpredictable habits of a new generation of younger buyers: https://lnkd.in/dFWrxAQt I’ve also written on a similar topic in Forbes Business Council. If you're interested, take a look at my article on how gallery owners can help drive a more inclusive global art market: https://lnkd.in/dsNcGkAj #WallStreetJournal #KellyCrow #Art #ArtMarket #ForbesBusinessCouncil

The objective of presenting meaning in conceptual art was the last stage of the reductive process of modern visual art. From that point on, conceptual artists use the visual aspect as a supportive illustration for the idea. “Rest Stop” 1987, Quantel Paintbox:

"Art is supposed to make you feel things, and come away thinking about the world a little differently. What better way to transmit a political message? The artists in the show communicate their point of view through beauty and craftsmanship. Good art may or may not be political, but this political art certainly is good."

In my latest at #TheArtNewspaper I consider the expectations around public art agencies and issues of censorship with a case in the town of #Vail and artist #DaniellleSeeWalker Thanks Benjamin Sutton for supporting this article and wonderful editing. https://lnkd.in/dqtqXiwZ

In the art of focus, every 'yes' is a brushstroke, and every 'no' is a deliberate omission that sculpts the masterpiece of your priorities. Saying 'no' is not a rejection of opportunities but a discerning choice to channel your energy towards what truly matters. It is the curator's decision, carefully selecting the exhibits that will define the gallery of your life. Focusing is not just about concentration; it is the mindful curation of your time and attention, a deliberate act of shaping your narrative by determining what deserves a place in the spotlight and what gracefully steps into the shadows.

ONLINE COURSE: Art Handling, Transport and Storage with Eva Riess at Node Center for Curatorial Studies Read the full description on our website: https://lnkd.in/esbxSnFG 💰 Fee: 189€ 🗓 Course dates: Jan 15 - Feb 12, 2024 📧 Enrol before: 11 Jan 2024 This course offers specially designed training on the handling, storage and transportation of cultural heritage focusing on modern and contemporary artworks (paintings, sculptures and installation works). Artworks have to be moved, packed, transported, stored and presented properly to guarantee their preservation and safety. Curators, gallery staff, art handlers and technicians are indirect and frequent contact with artworks and therefore need to know the essentials of proper care, maintenance and preservation.  This course is useful for anyone in contact with artworks and will provide basic guidelines for handling, packaging, transport and storage of works of art. In addition, the lecturer will enrich these guidelines, methods and techniques through case studies and day-to-day examples. #NodeCenter #CallForCurators #OnlineCourse #Education #Artists #ContemporaryArt #OnlineLearning #Curators #CuratorialOpportunities #CuratorialLearning #CAT #ArtHandling #Transport #Storage #EvaRiess #HowToHandleArtworks #ArtworksHandler #HowToTransportArtworks

Experiencing visual art is not a search for meaning as if it were a puzzle to be deciphered. Visual art can make you more aware and expand your consciousness directly through the sense of sight. Words are irrelevant. Your experience of visual art produces an awareness of your environment and your existence, sensations, and thoughts. Seeing art stimulates sensations followed by verbal activity consisting of new questions and answers in your conscience. You can talk about your experience seeing art, but you cannot transform a visual experience into a verbal experience. Similarly, you may talk about hearing a selection of jazz music, but you cannot transform it into a verbal experience.

And that’s number 25! Over the past year, we have been illustrating 25 essential skills for curators, giving a glimpse of the day-to-day life of art museum curators. This list of 25 skills is neither complete, nor definitive. Research commissioned by CODART in 2023 has shown that the job of curator has changed a lot over the past decennia. This will undoubtedly continue in the years to come: some of the 25 skills presented in this series may become irrelevant or obsolete, while new skills we can’t even think of now will emerge. In the 25th and final video in the series, Friso Lammertse and Tamar van Riessen (respectively Curator and Junior Curator of 17th-Century Dutch Painting, Rijksmuseum) discuss what skills the curator of the future will need. What skills do you think will become essential in the future? Let us know in the comments! See codart.nl/25 for the entire video series.
