Welcome to

The exciting profession of gallerist is fundamental for the

dissemination of contemporary art and it is not exempt from all the

drastic shifts that are occurring within the growing globalised art

world. The current scale of economic, technological and sociopolitical

transformations is profoundly modifying the traditional gallery

practice, posing new challenges that affect all the players involved

alike. In this scenario, art galleries must draw up new strategies

in order to be able to adapt themselves to new ever-changing

environments.

Talking Galleries Barcelona Symposium is the first international

meeting for gallerists, an open platform for reflection that aims to

debate the most urgent issues regarding contemporary art galleries

and to foster meetings between professionals internationally to share

knowledge, build up a committed community and find answers to the

major concerns.

During two vibrating days of debates, presentations and case studies,

a large roster of art world insiders will set out the most stimulating

discussion topics. The symposium will feature issues such as what

artists expect from their galleries, the way new agents are changing

the art market and the position of the mid-sized galleries in an

evolving ecosystem, among others.

Talking Galleries encourages all participants at the meeting to openly

take part in the debates. There will be plenty of spaces for interaction

and networking to keep the talks alive and moments of down time to

enjoy Barcelona’s art programming and worldwide renowned cuisine.

This symposium has been possible thanks to the unconditional

support of the Institut Català d’Empreses Culturals (ICEC), and the

Institut de Cultura de Barcelona (ICUB), as well as the dedication of

the Committee members, the contribution of the gallery associations,

the backing of the sponsors and the enthusiasm of the panellists and

the attendees.

To all of you, welcome to Talking Galleries Barcelona Symposium.

FOREWORDBy Bartomeu marí Art galleries have traditionally had the role of “quality filters” regarding the art market and the art

system. Galleries relied their work on their own “expertise” on which collectors based partially their

decisions. In the last 20 years many transformations have taken place. Other actors have played

the quality filter role of galleries. Agents such as art critics have profoundly changed and almost

disappeared, being absorbed in part by curators. Criteria and value emerge from major international

exhibitions and biennials that operate as prescribers.

A large part of the art market does not flow now through the gallery circuit but has “diluted” and is

everywhere. The gallery becomes a laboratory for an infinite and utopian market as it does not have

a precise location and any place is likely to hold transactions. Art fairs are challenging museums as

privileged places for novelty and confirmation value. Museums in fact have lost their leadership as

heritage keepers in favour of large private collectors that drive their own museums.

The art market absorbs heavy financial investments and therefore disrupts the traditional idea of

collecting based on the passion, knowledge and long-term projects. Domestic collecting has kept its

specific and traditional shapes, but financial and corporate collecting has much changed their types.

Auction houses used to trade with established or dead artists and now have an essential role in the

primary market. Many different formats and types of artistic production have also appeared. The

interaction of agents within the art system should take into account the evolution of the market.

Nowadays the institutional collectors dedicated to build a historical and educational project seek

active accomplices in the private sector. When public resources management dwindle and disappear,

institutions must associate themselves with their traditional partners: artists, collectors, galleries,

trustees and ...galleries. The transformations of the various actors in the system, each with their

respective interests, makes it increasingly necessary to analyse the ethics governing the system, its

values and principles.

Bartomeu Marí will open Talking Galleries Barcelona Symposium 2014 together with Georgina Adam.

Bartomeu Marí

Director of the Museu d’Art Contemporani de Barcelona (MACBA). He is the President of the International

ThE PoSITIon oF ThE MId-MArKET GAllEry In TodAy’S EnvIronMEnTSTRATEGIES FOR NAVIGATING THE EVOLVING MARKET

KEYNOTE LECTURE

9:45 - 11:00h

SPEAKER: Edward Winkleman

Galleries in the top and emerging tiers of the commercial art world have reportedly bounced

back from the Great Recession of 2008, while many mid-level galleries are viewed as still

struggling. What are the challenges mid-level galleries face in this quickly evolving market,

and how can they strategize to adapt and thrive in a business that seems to be squeezing

them from all sides? Through a series of real-world cases examples, this discussion will explore

strategies for succeeding even as:

Collectors shift from buying out of gallery spaces to collecting at art fairs

Poaching of best-selling artists by top-tier galleries and mega-galleries poses a constant risk

Rampant speculation in contemporary art market shifts attention away from connoisseurship

Access to images online is replacing art dealers as exclusive source for information

Lower consumer confidence continues among traditional mid-level collectors

The research points strongly lead to the conclusion that the traditional contemporary

art gallery model isn’t broken, per se, but rather it has become much more complex and

competitive. These strategy sessions are designed to help mid-tier galleries level the evolving

playing field.

Edward Winkleman

Co-owner of Winkleman Gallery in New York. He began his art career with a series of guerrilla-

style exhibitions called “hit & run” that took place in empty warehouses in New York and

London. In 2001 he co-founded Plus Ultra Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn with artist Joshua

Stern. Moving into Chelsea in 2006, the space became Winkleman Gallery. Murat Orozobekov

became co-owner of the gallery in 2007. Both co-founded the Moving Image art fair in March

2011, focused on video and moving-image based sculptures and installations. Winkleman is the

author of a blog www.edwardwinkleman.com that focuses on art (in particular, demystifying

the gallery system) and politics. He has also been a contributing editor to Art World Salon and

is the author of the book How to Start and Run a Commercial Art Gallery and is currently writing

a follow-up book tentatively titled Selling Contemporary Art: How to Navigate the Evolving

Market.

JoInT EvEnTS vS. GoInG SoloORGANISED EVENTS LIKE BERLIN GALLERY WEEKEND OR LATE OPENING EVENINGS- HOW EFFECTIVE ARE THEY?

PANEL DISCUSSION

11:30 - 13:00h

MODERATOR: Annamária Molnár

SPEAKERS: Łukasz Gorczyca, hans Knoll, Jochen Meyer, dorsey Waxter.

Contemporary art galleries are playing an increasingly significant role in the international art

scene. To further enhance these positive tendencies we have to join forces and cooperate more

actively. One of the biggest challenges is to find the most suitable and effective forms of coope-

ration amongst galleries in order to improve the market, to promote a wider appreciation of

contemporary art and a broader recognition of our artists.

It is clear that there is demand for cooperation among galleries both from the gallerists’ and

from the visitors’ side. However, there are a wide range of possibilities to choose from. Galleries

have different reasons to get involved, different aims to reach and there are various types of

organisations in terms of support, management and finance. The question is which option is

the most efficient, successful and satisfies most of the galleries’ needs.

onlInE SAlES In GAllErIES: STrATEGIES

PRESENTATION

13:00-14:00h

SPEAKER: Thomas Galbraith

This presentation will provide an overview of the online art space, tracking some of its

checkered history, then reviewing the different approaches of leading companies in the

primary and secondary markets as well as data and analysis providers: these companies will

include giants like Twitter and Instagram as well as art specific companies like artnet, artspace,

artsy, art binder, auctionata and Paddle8. A deeper examination will then be conducted on

a core selection of the most ground breaking and innovative of these companies, looking

specifically at what approaches they took to either solve existing inefficiencies in the market

or bring in new perspectives and tools otherwise never before available. Thomas will then use

a series of case studies to demonstrate how these online companies can be complementary

to gallery business objectives and leveraging a greater online presence. By highlighting a

series of potential strategic guidelines to help raise company profiles, increase traffic, draw

in new clients, increase sales portals, the presentation will aim to be informative, educational

and ultimately useful to business decision making. Finally the presentation will summarize the

online landscape, it’s possible future, how best to participate in it by taking advantage of the

efficiencies, sales potential and broad outreach the online space can afford.

Who IS SETTInG ThE CrITICAl AGEndA TodAy?

KEYNOTE LECTURE, LIVE VIDEO CONFERENCE FROM YALE UNIVERSITY

16:00 - 17:15h

SPEAKER: robert Storr

In conversation with Georgina Adam

Who were the traditional tastemakers?

It is certain that the days when the great art critics like Clement Greenberg were enormously influential are gone.

What are the reasons?

Among them are the impact of globalisation –no-one can be everywhere at the same time, and the art world is worldwide.

Newspapers have been cutting art critic positions in recent years, “culture” in many sections of newspapers today means film reviews…

The art press is not strong either, so neither magazines nor newspapers can afford to send critics around the world to review shows. The public has a short attention span, and wants “quick fixes” and not considered appraisals.

Museum curators, who are tethered to a single institution, are hampered by the shrinking revenues of many public institutions. Such museums are slower-moving, and cannot vie with the money-power and nimbleness of some private collectors with their own art spaces.

Who are the new “tastemakers”? Are they:

Collectors: in the past they might constitute collections slowly and donate at the end of their lives to a public institution. Today they put together collections much quicker, and may well found their own museums, so making their choices more public than in the past.

Dealers: the “mega-galleries” have spaces in more than one country, and by being able to fund shows in public institutions – and non-selling shows in their own galleries – have international reach and influence as never before.

Independent curators: their impact on the art world, for example the Venice Biennale, is extremely important.

Art advisors, who put together collection for the collectors.

The market itself, with its huge and highly publicised prices, leading the world to believe that the most expensive artist is also the best?

WhAT do ArTISTS WAnT FroM ThEIr GAllErIES?

PANEL DISCUSSION

17:45 – 19:15h

MODERATOR: Christian viveros-Fauné

SPEAKERS: Jordi Colomer, rainer Ganahl

The ecology of the global art world is changing. Auction houses have moved deep into the

primary market. Art fairs have exploded. Social media and the web have become platforms

for serious promotion, editorial and sales. The art market has expanded vastly, leading to an

economic bifurcation that weirdly mirrors the outlook of nations with shrinking middle classes.

Like with all seismic changes, there are winners and losers that result from these

transformations. Some of the ensuing fallout has become the stuff of important journalism,

online discussions, and distinguished symposia—like that taking place at “Talking Galleries.”

Yet few illuminating discussions have occurred which ask questions of the art world’s most

essential players: “What do artists want from their galleries?”

This discussion will focus on how artists believe galleries should confront the current

challenges of a changing art world. Do artists need galleries anymore? Should galleries

increase or decrease their participation in art fairs? Is traditional gallery representation the best

path to establishing an advantageous relationship with a gallery? Is there a counterintuitive,

non-market oriented aspect of gallery-making not currently being considered by galleries as

a response to a changing ecology? Can the evolving playbook of socially engaged art help

revitalize a stagnant gallery model?

These questions and more will form the crux of this conversation, which will finally attempt to

propose a few prescriptive ideas for artists and galleries looking to adapt to a rapidly changing

economic and creative environment.

Christian viveros-Fauné

Jordi Colomer

Visual artist based between Barcelona and Paris.

His work spans many mediums, as photography

and video. In 1997 he showed his first video work

at a site-specific projection room built in the

Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona. From

2001, Colomer‘s staging investigation extends to

urban space and an exploration of the different

scenes of social life (neighbourhoods, streets,

deserts, rooftops…). This is what led to works

such as ‘Anarchitekton’ (2002-2004), a travelling

project involving four large global cities (Barcelona,

Bucharest, Brasilia, Osaka), ‘No? Future!’ (Le Havre,

2006) or ‘Arabian Stars’ (Yemen, 2005). He has

recently developed projects based on journey-

works working around the issue of movement,

and where the isolated actions of a character

condenses reflection on the possibilities of poetic

survival offered by the contemporary metropolis.

KEYNOTE LECTURE

10:00 – 11:15h

SPEAKER: Mark Coetzee

While the debates rages on if one can even consider African Contemporary Art as a lexicon

without falling into the trap to the homogenization of culture—the contemporary art industry

in Africa is booming. New museums are being built, world class galleries developing, major

collections opening private exhibition spaces, artists from Africa are included on most major

international exhibitions and biennales, and their work is held in most major international

contemporary art collections.

Due to time restrictions this presentation cannot debate the merits or pitfalls of talking about

an African Art Industry. Instead it will simply give an overview of museums in Africa and how

their institutional history has impacted on the market. The discussion will then present a top

line summary of the influential art galleries, auctions and collectors from or focusing on Africa.

We will then consider how art markets in Africa interact with the Western market and debate

the inclusions and exclusions of art galleries from Africa.

Nigeria and South Africa are two countries that have recently been positioned on a global

platform. The presentation will end by consider the exploding scene in South Africa and the

possibility that it is fast becoming a/the gateway for the visual art market for a large majority

of Sub-Saharan Africa. Currently there is a constant flow of international gallerists visiting

South Africa looking for artists from Africa to include in their stable so they will be ready for

this growing “Africa fascination” or “Africa Fashion”.

The presentation will end with a detailed look at the players in or focused on South Africa—

from gallerists to curators, collectors to museums, art schools to publishers—and the possibility

that, due to a convergence of factors, Cape Town is fast becoming the port of call for the visual

arts industry in or focused on Africa.

PANEL DISCUSSION

11:45 - 13:15h

MODERATOR: dorsey Waxter

SPEAKERS: harald Falckenberg, Alistair hicks, Guy Jennings.

In the Financial Times on Sunday, June 29, 2014, there was a prescient article written by Arts

Editor Jan Dalley titled ‘New Rules, Old Game’. Dalley sumed up and presented the past role

of galleries as the primary generators of artists’ exhibitions and sales, compared to the current

environment where art is exhibited and sold in many arenas, including auction houses, art

fairs, biennials, and the Internet. What does this mean for the survival of the bricks and mortar

galleries that have been the default places to learn about and buy art? How has the changing

business model affected the galleries? What are galleries doing well or what can they do

better to compete in the marketplace?

STrEnGThEnInG ThE GAllEry SECTor ThroUGh PrIzESPRESENTATION OF G.A.C. AWARDS

PRESENTATION

13.15 - 13.30h  

SPEAKER: ramon Sicart

* This presentation will be in Catalan

G.A.C. Awards, founded in 2008, are the awards given by the Art Galleries of Catalonia,

currently gathering two professional gallery associations that represent nearly one hundred

galleries: Gremi de Galeries d’Art de Catalunya (Catalonia Gallery Union) and Art Barcelona.

They were established in order to reward relevant figures, projects and organizations for their

significant contribution to both art and gallery scene in Catalonia. The awards particularly

focus on those initiatives with an international impact and provide higher visibility to the

role art galleries carry out within the art system. G.A.C. Awards are aimed at national and

international galleries, collectors, critics, curators and artists and it count on a jury composed

of professionals from different fields.

Taking G.A.C. Awards as a starting point, this presentation will bring up issues such as: do

awards help strengthen the gallery sector? What are the benefits in the short and long run?

Which are the selection criteria? What is their actual impact on the media, the audience and

the market? What other awards are given in Europe? What are the common features with other

awards such as the F.E.A.G.A ones (Federation of European Art Gallery Associations)? What is

the position of the gallery community concerning this issue?

ramon Sicart

Founder and Director of Galeria Sicart in Vilafranca del Penedés (Barcelona) since 2000.

with the other agents within the art system. In 2013 he co-directed, together with Núria Miret,

the contest ‘Materia Prima’ focused on innovative exhibition projects. He is a board member

PANEL DISCUSSION

15:30 - 17:00h

MODERATOR: Sylvain levy

SPEAKERS: Maria Marques, Calum Sutton

The art world has undergone tremendous changes over the past 10 years, most of which driven by

unprecedented advances in technology that have in turn, created a completely new breed of art

consumers. Against this backdrop, it is vital for any new art “business” to establish a memorable

and distinctive identity/image in the shortest time possible. Given the enormous amount of

information available, this image needs to be very clearly distinguishable, and to become “a voice

above the noise”. Once this distinctive image has been created, the next step is to communicate

it to the target audience through the appropriate channels. It’s not much use having a wonderful

image if nobody knows about it.

This panel will attempt to bring to light key issues that commonly arise when dealing with

communications in the gallery daily basis practice, by posing questions and providing strategies

to build up a better positioning: Is branding a significant step forward to stand out and to

communicate one’s set of values? How can it be applied to galleries without becoming mere

’brands’? Is it brand content delivery a necessary evil to stand out and does it help to increase the

sales? How can small and mid-sized galleries position themselves in a crowded world with a clear

message, especially when aiming to reach new target collectors and to fulfill their demands? How

do online and offline communications co-exist for a gallery? Do we have to choose or what is the

perfect combination to carry out an optimal usage? What is the importance of building a social

network community and the impact of “word of mouth” in a digital world? Is gallery business still

based on personal human relationships more than anything else?

Sylvain levy

Contemporary Chinese art collector and visiting professor at the Shanghai University in charge of the Art

and Management Master. The Dslcollection, founded by Sylvain and Dominique Levy, is an art collection that

embraces the discovery, study and promotion of the Chinese contemporary artistic and cultural production,

be it paintings, sculpture, video art, installations or new media art. The key factors that differentiate the

Dslcollection are its unique acquisition policy and its use of the latest technology. Through technology, the

collection is able to achieve greater visibility, upon which to build a strong personality of its own. The ultimate

goal is to create a sustainable identity for the collection within the international art world, which is truly

distinctive and not tied to its founding members.
