“The Instagram craze: experiencing art in the digital age”
Looking through the lens of Instagram and other social networks is deeply transforming our behavior towards art. How does the digital environment challenge our ways of thinking about and viewing art? How does it impact the evolution of taste? Can we talk about new cultural influencers or tastemakers?
Speakers:
Julie Boukobza, independent curator and art critic, Paris
Mattis Curth, CEO & Co-Founder, Artland
JiaJia Fei, Director of Digital, The Jewish Museum, New York
Alain Quemin, professor of sociology of art, Université Paris-8, Paris

“The digital world ecosystem of contemporary art. A brief mapping of the situation in 2018”
Alexia Guggémos, art critic and journalist, Paris
The digital aura can be mapped, measured, and shaped. This is what Alexia Guggémos, art critic and influential marketing consultant, has been studying through her Social Web in Contemporary Art Observatory, Smiling People, since 2011. After having published the guidebook An Artist’s Guide to Social Media, she accompanies with pedagogy the artists, gallerists, and leaders in their digital leadership.
15:30 – 17:00 | Session 2
“The rise of private foundations boosts Paris as a hub for contemporary art”
Last March, Lafayette Anticipations inaugurated its space in the heart of Le Marais. Preceded and followed by other privately-funded art foundations like Fondation Louis Vuitton (2014), Collection Pinault (2018), Fondation Agnès b. (2018) or Fondation Fiminco (2019), it reflects a global trend in the Parisian scene. What are the reasons behind this boom? Do private initiatives cooperate with, compete with, or take the place of state/public institutions? This panel aims at analyzing Paris’s revitalised landscape in perspective with other examples on the international stage.
Speakers:
Martin Bethenod, Managing Director, Collection Pinault – Paris
François Quintin, Director, Lafayette Anticipations, Paris
Astrid Welter, Head of Programs, Fondazione Prada, Milan
Moderator: Georgina Adam, art market journalist, The Art Newspaper and Financial Times
The sessions will be held in English with simultaneous translation into French.
