The Art World Post Covid-19.
Featured on artsy.net, Todd Levin Wrote an article titled 'What The Art World's Past Tells Us About Its Future Beyond COVID-19.' The article explores the prominent patterns evident in the historical timeline of the art world that lead to its development up to this point "Perhaps Robert Hughes articulated this problem most succinctly in late 1989, when he wrote: “What strip mining is to nature, the art market has become to culture.” (The following year was the year of the great art market crash, which led to a deep, 15-year depression; it wasn’t until 2005 that prices of impressionist, modern, and contemporary artworks returned to pre-1990 levels.) Collecting art was recently viewed as a merit badge of cultivation, status, and participation in a world that can afford the expensive. But if we divorce art entirely from why it was created in the first place, then—as occurred with Jay-Z, James Franco, and other aforementioned examples—art and money exchange roles: Money becomes “divine” by being translated into art, and art becomes commonplace by being translated into money."

The Art World Post Covid-19.
Art Basel and UBS hosted an expert panel titled 'Conversations: The impact of Covid-19 on the art market' that discussed what past crises can teach us about the future.
"The Covid-19 crisis has had an unprecedented impact on the art market, shuttering galleries and museums. Exhibitions, art fairs, and auctions have either been postponed or have moved online. What will the mid- and long-term consequences of the crisis be for the art market? What lessons can we learn from the past, and what innovations might tomorrow's art market bring? On Tuesday, 19 May, 2020, Art Basel and UBS hosted an expert panel to address the key questions facing today's art market.

Panelists:
Paul Donovan, Global Wealth Management Chief Economist, UBS
Noah Horowitz, Director Americas, Art Basel
Dr. Clare McAndrew, Founder, Arts Economics

Moderator:
Melanie Gerlis, Art Market Columnist, Financial Times"

The Art World Post Covid-19
"Covid-19 Is Accelerating The Art World's Adoption of Technology.
Crowded art shows and galleries, auctions, and fairs seem a distant memory. The global COVID-19 pandemic has radically impacted many industries and art is no exception. “It’s a pivotal moment,” Frances Morris, director of Tate Modern told The Guardian. “We’re going to talk in terms of before and after. The virus will change a lot of things for art.” While the situation is grave for many, it also offers opportunities. Rather than talking about technology and how it can make art more accessible, people are being forced to embrace it. Small private galleries all the way up to the internationally renowned Art Basel have launched online viewing rooms. Others have gone further and utilized immersive technology as a response to the current situation, but it should be adopted as a more long-term solution to open up the industry to the masses."

'Surrounded Islands' by Christo and Jeanne Claude.
Biscayne Bay, Greater Miami, Florida
1980-83.

As with Christo and Jeanne-Claude's previous art projects, Surrounded Islands was entirely financed by the artists, through the sale of preparatory drawings, collages, and early works. The artists do not accept sponsorship of any kind.

On May 4, 1983, out of a total work force of 430, the unfurling crew began to blossom the pink fabric. Surrounded Islands was tended day and night by 120 monitors in inflatable boats. Surrounded Islands was a work of art underlining the various elements and ways in which the people of Miami live, between land and water.

On May 7, 1983, the installation of Surrounded Islands was completed in Biscayne Bay, between the city of Miami, North Miami, the Village of Miami Shores and Miami Beach. Eleven of the islands situated in the area of Bakers Haulover Cut, Broad Causeway, 79th Street Causeway, Julia Tuttle Causeway, and Venetian Causeway were surrounded with 6.5 million square feet (603,870 square meters) of floating pink woven polypropylene fabric covering the surface of the water and extending out 200 feet (61 meters) from each island into the bay. The fabric was sewn into 79 patterns to follow the contours of the 11 islands.

For two weeks, Surrounded Islands, spreading over 7 miles (11.3 kilometers), was seen, approached and enjoyed by the public, from the causeways, the land, the water and the air. The luminous pink color of the shiny fabric was in harmony with the tropical vegetation of the uninhabited verdant islands, the light of the Miami sky and the colors of the shallow waters of Biscayne Bay.

'Wrapped Trees' by Christo and Jeanne Claude.
Fondation Beyeler and Berower Park, Riehen, Switzerland
1997-98.
Starting on Friday, November 13, 1998, 178 trees were wrapped with 592,015 square feet (55,000 square meters) of woven polyester fabric (used every winter in Japan to protect trees from frost and heavy snow) and 14.3 miles (23 kilometers) of rope. The wrapping was completed on November 22.

The trees are located in the park around the Fondation Beyeler and in the adjacent meadow as well as along the creek of Berower Park, northeast of Basel, at the German border. The height of the trees varied between 82 feet (25 meters) and 6.5 feet (2 meters) with a diameter from 47.5 feet (14.5 meters) to 3.3 feet (1 meter). As they have always done, Christo and Jeanne-Claude paid the expenses of the project themselves through the sale of original works to museums, private collectors and galleries. The artists do not accept any sponsorship.

The wrapping was removed on December 14, 1998 and the materials were recycled.

Christo and Jeanne-Claude have worked with trees for many years: In 1966, Wrapped Trees was proposed for the park adjacent to the Saint Louis Art Museum, Missouri, and the permission was denied. In 1969, the artists requested permission for Wrapped Trees, Project for 330 Trees, Avenue des Champs-Élysées, Paris. This was denied by Maurice Papon, Prefect of Paris. The Wrapped Trees in Riehen were the outcome of 32 years of effort.

The branches of the Wrapped Trees pushed the translucent fabric outward and created dynamic volumes of light and shadow and moving in the wind with new forms and surfaces shaped by the ropes on the fabric.

Throughout the week we will be posting some of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's notable project, in honour of Christo's memory.

Four days ago the art world suffered the great loss of conceptual artist Christo Vladimirov Javacheff. The Bulgarian artist, born in 1935, has passed away on May 31st aged 84.
Christo and his wife Jeanne-Claude were artists noted for their large-scale, site-specific environmental installations, often large landmarks and landscape elements wrapped in fabric under Christo's name, they later credited their installations to both "Christo and Jeanne-Claude". Until his own death, Christo continued to plan and execute projects after Jeanne-Claude's death in 2009.

Their work was typically large, visually impressive, and controversial, often taking years and sometimes decades of careful preparation – including technical solutions, political negotiation, permitting and environmental approval, hearings and public persuasion. The pair refused grants, scholarships, donations or public money, instead financing the work via the sale of their own artwork.

Christo and Jean Claude described the myriad elements that brought the projects to fruition as integral to the artwork itself, and said their projects contained no deeper meaning than their immediate aesthetic impact; their purpose being simply for joy, beauty, and new ways of seeing the familiar.

Throughout the week we will be posting some of Christo and Jeanne-Claude's notable project, in honour of Christo's memory.

qu"ART"antine.
from 'Storyteller: TaxidermyDreams', by Mohamed Monaiseer - 2019.
"Delving into the parallel worlds of his mind, where animals recount mystical folktales and creatures frolic through an illusory zoo. Taxidermied dolls are choreographed into an uncanny dance that is at first wondrous and then macabre. Innocent toys and stories are thrust into a world of psychological panic in a large-scale multimedia installation comprised of paintings, in situ sculpture, video and sound."
