PROGRAMME

Friday 5  

11~12:30 am | Session I: “Art & Architecture. Thinking Spaces for Art”
Jing Liu, Founding Partner and Principal, SO–IL architects, New York
Tateo Nakajima, Principal of Arts, Culture & Entertainment ARUP
Museums are not just buildings that contain artworks. Many of them get into a rivalry with the artworks they host and reach the status of an iconic landmark in their city, generating special international focus, e.g. Bilbao’s Guggenheim Museum. The architecture studios pour all their wisdom into the creation of an ideal spatiality for art, designing the perfect fusion between the outside and the inside. What are the main factors and criteria to be taken into consideration for creating such spaces? How do they conceptually conceive the building?

Moderated by Georgina Adam, Art Market Author and Journlist, The Art Newspaper/ Financial Times
What does it mean to collect art in the 21st century? How do collectors envision their role today? Collectors nowadays are more focused in sharing than in possessing, so what does collecting mean today? It no longer entails the mere acquisition of artworks; many collectors now are getting involved in the artistic processes and become engaged with patronage, production or institutions;  thus, generating new relationships and dynamics with the artists, curators, advisors, museums and other fellow collectors.

Communication is vital to construct a project. The content is king and knowing who and how to address the communication strategies is key for a successful campaign. Communicating in the art world involves a carefully planned and tailored strategy for each project –whether it is a museum, a commercial gallery, a non-profit organization or an art fair. Leading communication experts, both working in art institutions or in independent PR agencies, will share their knowledge and experience in coordinating marketing and communication teams.
