Art Basel Conversations & Art Salon

0 comments

Aside from the hundreds of art exhibits, part of Art Basel Miami Beach attempts to create doorways of dialogue regarding the present condition of the global art world. This is achieved in countless of ways, but perhaps the most direct initiative is the Art Basel Conversations and Art Salon sessions.

Art Basel Conversations offers the show’s public access to first-hand information on aspects of art collecting by facilitating direct encounters between leading personalities of the international art world. It is a forum that encourages the exchange of ideas through a series of platform discussions. The themes of Art Basel Conversations focus on the collection and exhibition of art.

Art Salon is an open platform for discussion, with an emphasis in current themes in contemporary art, informal in its format yet international in scope. Art Salon encourages experimental roundtable discussions with an array of speakers ranging from artists and curators to authors and architects.  The program offers an intimate experience for the audience to engage with prominent and thought-provoking guests on a variety of art-related topics.
