TEN CURATED ART AND CREATIVITY INSIGHTS FOR YOU


Hello from Miami! It’s that time of the year again - Art Basel Miami Beach’s 21st edition is here and with it all the excitement, rush, avalanche of events and hundreds of thousands of artworks to see and buy. Since this is such an intense work week for me, instead of new content I thought I’d share a selection of recent articles and essays I’ve found interesting:

1. Speaking of Art Basel, if you’ve ever wondered what an art advisor like me does, their editorial team featured me last week, here and here

2. How Miami became an art world capital

3. Tips on how to increase your creativity from a marketing whiz

4. The business model behind what’s considered the most profitable fine art photography of all time

5. Do artists and institutions have to take a stand on everything?

6. A cultural project in Boston aims to forge comradeship through conversations about artistic experiences among groups that otherwise find few opportunities to commingle

7. A music critic makes the case that technocracy has grown so oppressive and manipulative it would spur a backlash. And that our rebellion might resemble the Romanticist movement of the early 1800s

8. According to this article, museums are the spiritual successors of the church, and now they are haunted by a crisis of purpose /

9. Why we value art, as seen through the eyes of philosophers

10. Four phrases that kill creativity
