Discover the World Behind the Canvas
At discover.art, we believe that art is so much more than what you can perceive on the wall; it’s an evolving, living organism. It’s a rich, intricately layered community fueled by creative minds, innovative thought, and the changing environments where art comes alive. We’re here to lift the veil, to embark you on an in-depth journey to the heart of the art world.
Think of us as your art companion, your expert guide to the busy fairs, the serene, iconic museums, and the cutting-edge, ever-evolving spaces of art galleries worldwide. We are passionate about the stories behind the exhibitions, the diligent care of the curators, the dedication of the gallerists, and the elaborate logistics involved when moving masterworks from the isolation of a studio into the light of public life.
Our Passion & What We Explore
Our mission is simple but clear: to illuminate this fascinating world, making its complexity tangible for everyone and its magic more apparent. We’re driven by a regard for the artistry itself, naturally, but also for the fantastic efforts, strategic visions, and the minds that shape our global cultural fabric.
We explore:
The Rhythm of Art Fairs: We don’t tell you what to see; we lead you through these global shows, shedding light on their impact on the global market, trends that they ignite, and how they serve as launchpads for emerging and established artists alike. From the grandeur of Art Basel to the insider enchantment of local fairs, we help you understand their intricate dance.
The Galleries’ Vision: They are more than just commercial spaces; they are the lifeblood of many professionals in the art world. We look at how galleries nurture new talent, foster relationships, generate significant dialogue, and act as major bridging agents between art and passionate collectors and enthusiastic fans in general. We will look at different models, from the white cube to artist-run initiatives.
The Genius of Innovation and Legacy of Museums: We talk about these institutions of culture, demystifying the art of conservation, the dedication to educational outreach, and the curatorial brilliance behind their exhibitions and collections. Join us to see how ancient organizations are adapting to face modern challenges and embracing new technologies to engage with future audiences.
The Market Mechanics: The business of art often seems to be an enigma. We plan to illuminate it, from the art of sales and purchases to the growing importance of provenance, the ethical dimension of collecting, and the transformative power of digital platforms and sustainability in the market.
Behind-the-Scenes: Who ships the art? Who installs it? Who decides where it ends up? We’re fascinated by the behind-the-scenes heroes and the meticulous procedures that make art accessible for the public. Interviews with curators, conservators, art handlers, fair organizers, and the thousands of experts who keep the art world spinning are what you can look forward to at discover.art.
