Who Decides the Value of Contemporary Art? - A panel discussion in collaboration with LCACE
This panel discussion will focus on how contemporary art is valued and by whom.
In doing so, it will examine how different parts of the art world (e.g. independent and publicly funded galleries, museums, critics, collectors, academics and artists themselves) set about creating the value of contemporary art and how indeed 'value' itself is defined by different stakeholders? It will also explore the nature of the connections that exist between different parts of the art world and what influence, if any, individuals and institutions have upon each other. It will also take a critical look at the ways in which global issues impact on what is valued, by whom and why.
The discussion is part of an ongoing process initiated by Sarah Rowles, founder of Q-Art London who, last year, decided to undertake research to unpick the art world and get to grips with it as part of her BA Art Practice at Goldsmiths. This research has resulted in her writing and publishing '12 Gallerists:20 Questions, a fascinating and revealing set of interviews with twelve London-based independent gallerists. The publication is now selling in Tate Modern and the ICA. Her work also led her to establish the Q-Art London network which, in the year since its inception, has established and run convenors for emerging artists at all the capital's arts schools.
