Programme:

week 1: Going Glocal – is this the way forward to deal with the challenges of globalization in the arts and the cultural industries?

This session introduces the idea of glocal – the split between the global and local and discusses if this might be an interesting way forward for the art world. While the art world has become increasingly global with tendencies to large corporations ruling the commercial section (auction houses, galleries art fairs), it has also proven to be very resilient against attempts to unify artistic production and has remained vital and engaging. The session will look at some examples of globalization and wall as regionalization and raise the question how we can navigate between those two diverse strands in the art market.

week 2: The Future of Art Fairs

Art Fairs have developed to become the main platform not only for the selling and buying of art, but moreover also for critical discourse and curatorial debate. However, with an ever increasing competitive market and hundreds of fairs, is there a “fairtigue” (Georgina Adam, FT) suffocating us all? And if not, what does the future hold for art fairs. This session will give an overview of the history of art fairs, explore different types of fairs, look at different models that are currently dominating the market and look at potential developments for the future.

week 3: The Advance of the Private Museum – what is happening to Art Collecting?

For Centuries collecting has attracted the interests not only of dealers but also of scholars and psychoanalysts. With the dominance of contemporary art in the past decades and the emergence of new collecting territories the rules and attributes of collecting have changed. The discrete, European collector with impeccable taste and connoisseurship seems to have vanished and not even the “super-collector” Charles Saatchi really makes the news any more. Instead the mega rich have taken over and more often than not wish to build a legacy through the establishment of private museums. The session will discuss pros and cons of this development and asks how the collector of tomorrow will look like.
