28-09 | 24-11 [at] MU.SA (Câmara Municipal de Sintra) “O Futuro Nasce a cada Amanhecer” | “The Future Rises with each Dawn”   marks the inaugural public presentation of the Vasco Collection. More than merely existing in the present, with a stable form and defined body, the collection projects itself into the future, envisioning itself as an endless exercise of imagination and desire. At the same time, while much of private collecting with institutional aspirations seeks to define, in the present moment, which past will be important for the future, the Vasco Collection views collecting as the self-expression of individual subjectivity - subject to inflections, advances, setbacks, hesitations, but also unquestionable certainties. Far from being an exhaustive or definitive approach to the collection, the exhibition thematically explores the representation of the human figure, both through its presence and absence, as well as ideas of representation and identity, creating a path that is both sensitive and critical, where the human body is in constant transformation. #vascocollection #art #artcollection #artists

What are metaphysical hermeneutics? How can we best 'decode' the absurd? Does art require a criteria? What are the metaphysics of advertising? If I see that a company can create the VERY GREATEST art. Surely that's the best and most impressive thing they can do? Beverage advertising is my very favourite. How do you advertise something you sip, drink or gulp? Any. Way. You. Want. When your brilliance is casual, fun, grandiose, amusing, elegant, boisterous - and a spectacle? And innovative? It is impossible to ignore. You have transcended and defied all. 'What am I advertising? At this level of mastery? Sublime brilliance. That's all. We're casually demonstrating our greatness.' If Radiohead can release an EP that's not an LP and their EP has 7 tracks that are better than any LP that year with 12 tracks. Then? If a brand releases an art exhibition or installation? Or puts on a concert? And it's worth everyone's endless attention, curiosity and fascination? Guess what they now associate with your brand. Everything wonderful. The key element is surprise. A cheeky surprise, a funny surprise, a safe surprise, a reassuring surprise, a comfortable surprise. When it comes to the spectacle there are many ways to engage with it and different stages to your participation in it. Noticing Staring Being entranced and hypnotised Pondering what you're seeing while you try to process it all Studying it to better understand what's going on and how it does what it does Finding out who the puppet master is. The Wizard of Oz Telling yourself it's not worth your time and that you have cooler stuff to do Being intrigued again, knowing you might never see it again Enjoying it with someone and wanting to validate aspects of your shared experience, perception and interpretation Decompressing from the experience and debriefing These are personal notes on the various stages, variously experienced by various groups/types of people when they see a spectacle. When your spectacle takes place somewhere iconic? Now it's much easier to stage an iconic spectacle. And you will want the very best photographers, painters, drawers, and visisual artists on hand to interpret it and manufacture pop art and timeless art. Right then and there. Stage a pop up ART HAPPENING. Or a pop up Da Vinci workshop. You're manufacturing popular culture and soft power and influence and brand worth in REAL TIME. In a luxurious tapestry. You must be efficient and effective about it. It's like you set up your spectacle. Then you set up your circus in 5 minutes and get to it. Media circus, your provocation, your fashion elements, and as many mixed media artists as you can afford. Then upload it all, send it to your graphic design person or the artists work it all. And you have branding, PR materials, low and high art and all kinds of art to share with the world. About how THIS was that THRILLA IN MANILLA or that Bigfoot Sighting. I always loved illy coffee. Now, even more! Congratulations!

5 Indian Modernist Artists with Market Momentum. Much like the country’s economy, India’s art market is growing—fast. Recent years have seen an influx of new collectors, galleries, institutions, and art fairs, which, taken together, are actively fostering a burgeoning contemporary art scene. Much of this growth is illustrated by the country’s auction houses, which saw total turnover surge from $1.46 million to $144.3 million between 2002 and 2023, according to Grant Thornton Bharat and the Indian Art Investor. In fact, last year was the most successful yet for Indian art auctions, and the momentum is being carried into 2024, marked by a nearly 40% rise in buyers, driven by newcomers. https://lnkd.in/gY-tHyYN #art #artists #artmarket #india #artworld #galleries #museums #exhibitions

According to recent reports from auction houses, art fairs, and the broader art market, 87% of sales were attributed to artworks priced under $10,000 i.e. less then INR 8,00,000. This shows the growing demand for affordable art, reflecting a shift in buying trends." #artmarket #artist #fineart #artbuyer #affordableart #indianartist #contemporaryart #artcollector #artistindia

A virtual experience is a gate to observe art uniquely – a way to make the impossible possible. What cannot exist in the physical world can easily be a reality in the virtual. Online exhibitions and virtual art allow artists to explore art exhibitions from a fresh perspective. What happens when a painter and a rock musician collaborate to create an out-of-this-reality online art exhibition? Will the result be more than merely the sum of art and space? Painter Petri Ala-Maunus and rock musician Sami Yaffa created the La-La Land Dark Side virtual art exhibition and discovered a new dimension of creativity and inspiration.
