In this episode of Art Smack, Hilde recounts recent adventures and observations, blending anecdotes from a serendipitous discovery of a diamond bracelet on an airplane to the frustration of finding a yoga studio and the quirky charm of antique shops in Georgia. The adventure narrative dovetails into a critique of the contemporary art market's commercialization and the absurdities of maintaining multiple gallery locations and art fairs. Hilde underscores the need for a significant overhaul, more candid pricing strategies, and a shift toward authentic engagement and artistic weirdness, culminating in a call for more genuine, unfiltered experiences in the art world.
Change is well underway, so who will radically adapt to not just keep up, but to get ahead and to a model that is financially viable and thriving?
That is very much possible if people would stop complaining about doing all the fairs no one forced them to do and opening all the gallery locations no one forced them to do. Am I right?
