Welcome to
The exciting profession of gallerist is fundamental for the
dissemination of contemporary art and it is not exempt from all the
drastic shifts that are occurring within the growing globalised art
world. The current scale of economic, technological and sociopolitical
transformations is profoundly modifying the traditional gallery
practice, posing new challenges that affect all the players involved
alike. In this scenario, art galleries must draw up new strategies
in order to be able to adapt themselves to new ever-changing
environments.
Talking Galleries Barcelona Symposium is the first international
meeting for gallerists, an open platform for reflection that aims to
debate the most urgent issues regarding contemporary art galleries
and to foster meetings between professionals internationally to share
knowledge, build up a committed community and find answers to the
major concerns.
During two vibrating days of debates, presentations and case studies,
a large roster of art world insiders will set out the most stimulating
discussion topics. The symposium will feature issues such as what
artists expect from their galleries, the way new agents are changing
the art market and the position of the mid-sized galleries in an
evolving ecosystem, among others.
Talking Galleries encourages all participants at the meeting to openly
take part in the debates. There will be plenty of spaces for interaction
and networking to keep the talks alive and moments of down time to
enjoy Barcelona’s art programming and worldwide renowned cuisine.
This symposium has been possible thanks to the unconditional
support of the Institut Català d’Empreses Culturals (ICEC), and the
Institut de Cultura de Barcelona (ICUB), as well as the dedication of
the Committee members, the contribution of the gallery associations,
the backing of the sponsors and the enthusiasm of the panellists and
the attendees.
To all of you, welcome to Talking Galleries Barcelona Symposium.

FOREWORDBy Bartomeu marí Art galleries have traditionally had the role of “quality filters” regarding the art market and the art
system. Galleries relied their work on their own “expertise” on which collectors based partially their
decisions. In the last 20 years many transformations have taken place. Other actors have played
the quality filter role of galleries. Agents such as art critics have profoundly changed and almost
disappeared, being absorbed in part by curators. Criteria and value emerge from major international
exhibitions and biennials that operate as prescribers.
A large part of the art market does not flow now through the gallery circuit but has “diluted” and is
everywhere. The gallery becomes a laboratory for an infinite and utopian market as it does not have
a precise location and any place is likely to hold transactions. Art fairs are challenging museums as
privileged places for novelty and confirmation value. Museums in fact have lost their leadership as
heritage keepers in favour of large private collectors that drive their own museums.
The art market absorbs heavy financial investments and therefore disrupts the traditional idea of
collecting based on the passion, knowledge and long-term projects. Domestic collecting has kept its
specific and traditional shapes, but financial and corporate collecting has much changed their types.
Auction houses used to trade with established or dead artists and now have an essential role in the
primary market. Many different formats and types of artistic production have also appeared. The
interaction of agents within the art system should take into account the evolution of the market.
Nowadays the institutional collectors dedicated to build a historical and educational project seek
active accomplices in the private sector. When public resources management dwindle and disappear,
institutions must associate themselves with their traditional partners: artists, collectors, galleries,
trustees and ...galleries. The transformations of the various actors in the system, each with their
respective interests, makes it increasingly necessary to analyse the ethics governing the system, its
values and principles.
Bartomeu Marí will open Talking Galleries Barcelona Symposium 2014 together with Georgina Adam.

ThE PoSITIon oF ThE MId-MArKET GAllEry In TodAy’S EnvIronMEnTSTRATEGIES FOR NAVIGATING THE EVOLVING MARKET
KEYNOTE LECTURE
9:45 - 11:00h
SPEAKER: Edward Winkleman
Galleries in the top and emerging tiers of the commercial art world have reportedly bounced
back from the Great Recession of 2008, while many mid-level galleries are viewed as still
struggling. What are the challenges mid-level galleries face in this quickly evolving market,
and how can they strategize to adapt and thrive in a business that seems to be squeezing
them from all sides? Through a series of real-world cases examples, this discussion will explore
strategies for succeeding even as:
Collectors shift from buying out of gallery spaces to collecting at art fairs
Poaching of best-selling artists by top-tier galleries and mega-galleries poses a constant risk
Rampant speculation in contemporary art market shifts attention away from connoisseurship
Access to images online is replacing art dealers as exclusive source for information
Lower consumer confidence continues among traditional mid-level collectors
The research points strongly lead to the conclusion that the traditional contemporary
art gallery model isn’t broken, per se, but rather it has become much more complex and
competitive. These strategy sessions are designed to help mid-tier galleries level the evolving
playing field.
Edward Winkleman
Co-owner of Winkleman Gallery in New York. He began his art career with a series of guerrilla-
style exhibitions called “hit & run” that took place in empty warehouses in New York and
London. In 2001 he co-founded Plus Ultra Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn with artist Joshua
Stern. Moving into Chelsea in 2006, the space became Winkleman Gallery. Murat Orozobekov
became co-owner of the gallery in 2007. Both co-founded the Moving Image art fair in March
2011, focused on video and moving-image based sculptures and installations. Winkleman is the
author of a blog www.edwardwinkleman.com that focuses on art (in particular, demystifying
the gallery system) and politics. He has also been a contributing editor to Art World Salon and
is the author of the book How to Start and Run a Commercial Art Gallery and is currently writing
a follow-up book tentatively titled Selling Contemporary Art: How to Navigate the Evolving
Market.

JoInT EvEnTS vS. GoInG SoloORGANISED EVENTS LIKE BERLIN GALLERY WEEKEND OR LATE OPENING EVENINGS- HOW EFFECTIVE ARE THEY?
PANEL DISCUSSION
11:30 - 13:00h
MODERATOR: Annamária Molnár
SPEAKERS: Łukasz Gorczyca, hans Knoll, Jochen Meyer, dorsey Waxter.
Contemporary art galleries are playing an increasingly significant role in the international art
scene. To further enhance these positive tendencies we have to join forces and cooperate more
actively. One of the biggest challenges is to find the most suitable and effective forms of coope-
ration amongst galleries in order to improve the market, to promote a wider appreciation of
contemporary art and a broader recognition of our artists.
It is clear that there is demand for cooperation among galleries both from the gallerists’ and
from the visitors’ side. However, there are a wide range of possibilities to choose from. Galleries
have different reasons to get involved, different aims to reach and there are various types of
organisations in terms of support, management and finance. The question is which option is
the most efficient, successful and satisfies most of the galleries’ needs.

onlInE SAlES In GAllErIES: STrATEGIES
PRESENTATION
13:00-14:00h
SPEAKER: Thomas Galbraith
This presentation will provide an overview of the online art space, tracking some of its
checkered history, then reviewing the different approaches of leading companies in the
primary and secondary markets as well as data and analysis providers: these companies will
include giants like Twitter and Instagram as well as art specific companies like artnet, artspace,
artsy, art binder, auctionata and Paddle8. A deeper examination will then be conducted on
a core selection of the most ground breaking and innovative of these companies, looking
specifically at what approaches they took to either solve existing inefficiencies in the market
or bring in new perspectives and tools otherwise never before available. Thomas will then use
a series of case studies to demonstrate how these online companies can be complementary
to gallery business objectives and leveraging a greater online presence. By highlighting a
series of potential strategic guidelines to help raise company profiles, increase traffic, draw
in new clients, increase sales portals, the presentation will aim to be informative, educational
and ultimately useful to business decision making. Finally the presentation will summarize the
online landscape, it’s possible future, how best to participate in it by taking advantage of the
efficiencies, sales potential and broad outreach the online space can afford.

Who IS SETTInG ThE CrITICAl AGEndA TodAy?
KEYNOTE LECTURE, LIVE VIDEO CONFERENCE FROM YALE UNIVERSITY
16:00 - 17:15h
SPEAKER: robert Storr
In conversation with Georgina Adam
Who were the traditional tastemakers?
It is certain that the days when the great art critics like Clement Greenberg were enormously influential are gone.
What are the reasons?
Among them are the impact of globalisation –no-one can be everywhere at the same time, and the art world is worldwide.
Newspapers have been cutting art critic positions in recent years, “culture” in many sections of newspapers today means film reviews…
The art press is not strong either, so neither magazines nor newspapers can afford to send critics around the world to review shows. The public has a short attention span, and wants “quick fixes” and not considered appraisals.
Museum curators, who are tethered to a single institution, are hampered by the shrinking revenues of many public institutions. Such museums are slower-moving, and cannot vie with the money-power and nimbleness of some private collectors with their own art spaces.
Who are the new “tastemakers”? Are they:
Collectors: in the past they might constitute collections slowly and donate at the end of their lives to a public institution. Today they put together collections much quicker, and may well found their own museums, so making their choices more public than in the past.
Dealers: the “mega-galleries” have spaces in more than one country, and by being able to fund shows in public institutions – and non-selling shows in their own galleries – have international reach and influence as never before.
Independent curators: their impact on the art world, for example the Venice Biennale, is extremely important.
Art advisors, who put together collection for the collectors.
The market itself, with its huge and highly publicised prices, leading the world to believe that the most expensive artist is also the best?

WhAT do ArTISTS WAnT FroM ThEIr GAllErIES?
PANEL DISCUSSION
17:45 – 19:15h
MODERATOR: Christian viveros-Fauné
SPEAKERS: Jordi Colomer, rainer Ganahl
The ecology of the global art world is changing. Auction houses have moved deep into the
primary market. Art fairs have exploded. Social media and the web have become platforms
for serious promotion, editorial and sales. The art market has expanded vastly, leading to an
economic bifurcation that weirdly mirrors the outlook of nations with shrinking middle classes.
Like with all seismic changes, there are winners and losers that result from these
transformations. Some of the ensuing fallout has become the stuff of important journalism,
online discussions, and distinguished symposia—like that taking place at “Talking Galleries.”
Yet few illuminating discussions have occurred which ask questions of the art world’s most
essential players: “What do artists want from their galleries?”
This discussion will focus on how artists believe galleries should confront the current
challenges of a changing art world. Do artists need galleries anymore? Should galleries
increase or decrease their participation in art fairs? Is traditional gallery representation the best
path to establishing an advantageous relationship with a gallery? Is there a counterintuitive,
non-market oriented aspect of gallery-making not currently being considered by galleries as
a response to a changing ecology? Can the evolving playbook of socially engaged art help
revitalize a stagnant gallery model?
These questions and more will form the crux of this conversation, which will finally attempt to
propose a few prescriptive ideas for artists and galleries looking to adapt to a rapidly changing
economic and creative environment.
Christian viveros-Fauné
New York-based writer and curator. As a writer, he has written extensively about art and culture for
hundreds of publications, among them Frieze, Art in America, The New Yorker, Departures, and Newsweek
The Daily Beast. He currently writes the Free Lance column for ArtReview magazine, art criticism for The
Village Voice and news and analysis for The Art Newspaper. A collection of his criticism, Greatest Hits:

monograph about the Guatemalan photographer and artist Lissie Habie for Edizioni Charta, S.R.L., out in
Fall, 2014. Additionally, he has also curated hundreds of gallery, museum, and biennial exhibitions around
the world.

Jordi Colomer
Visual artist based between Barcelona and Paris.
His work spans many mediums, as photography
and video. In 1997 he showed his first video work
at a site-specific projection room built in the
Museum of Contemporary Art of Barcelona. From
2001, Colomer‘s staging investigation extends to
urban space and an exploration of the different
scenes of social life (neighbourhoods, streets,
deserts, rooftops…). This is what led to works
such as ‘Anarchitekton’ (2002-2004), a travelling
project involving four large global cities (Barcelona,
Bucharest, Brasilia, Osaka), ‘No? Future!’ (Le Havre,
2006) or ‘Arabian Stars’ (Yemen, 2005). He has
recently developed projects based on journey-
works working around the issue of movement,
and where the isolated actions of a character
condenses reflection on the possibilities of poetic
survival offered by the contemporary metropolis.

KEYNOTE LECTURE
10:00 – 11:15h
SPEAKER: Mark Coetzee
While the debates rages on if one can even consider African Contemporary Art as a lexicon
without falling into the trap to the homogenization of culture—the contemporary art industry
in Africa is booming. New museums are being built, world class galleries developing, major
collections opening private exhibition spaces, artists from Africa are included on most major
international exhibitions and biennales, and their work is held in most major international
contemporary art collections.
Due to time restrictions this presentation cannot debate the merits or pitfalls of talking about
an African Art Industry. Instead it will simply give an overview of museums in Africa and how
their institutional history has impacted on the market. The discussion will then present a top
line summary of the influential art galleries, auctions and collectors from or focusing on Africa.
We will then consider how art markets in Africa interact with the Western market and debate
the inclusions and exclusions of art galleries from Africa.
Nigeria and South Africa are two countries that have recently been positioned on a global
platform. The presentation will end by consider the exploding scene in South Africa and the
possibility that it is fast becoming a/the gateway for the visual art market for a large majority
of Sub-Saharan Africa. Currently there is a constant flow of international gallerists visiting
South Africa looking for artists from Africa to include in their stable so they will be ready for
this growing “Africa fascination” or “Africa Fashion”.
The presentation will end with a detailed look at the players in or focused on South Africa—
from gallerists to curators, collectors to museums, art schools to publishers—and the possibility
that, due to a convergence of factors, Cape Town is fast becoming the port of call for the visual
arts industry in or focused on Africa.

PANEL DISCUSSION
11:45 - 13:15h
MODERATOR: dorsey Waxter
SPEAKERS: harald Falckenberg, Alistair hicks, Guy Jennings.
In the Financial Times on Sunday, June 29, 2014, there was a prescient article written by Arts
Editor Jan Dalley titled ‘New Rules, Old Game’. Dalley sumed up and presented the past role
of galleries as the primary generators of artists’ exhibitions and sales, compared to the current
environment where art is exhibited and sold in many arenas, including auction houses, art
fairs, biennials, and the Internet. What does this mean for the survival of the bricks and mortar
galleries that have been the default places to learn about and buy art? How has the changing
business model affected the galleries? What are galleries doing well or what can they do
better to compete in the marketplace?

PRESENTATION
13.15 - 13.30h
SPEAKER: ramon Sicart
* This presentation will be in Catalan
G.A.C. Awards, founded in 2008, are the awards given by the Art Galleries of Catalonia,
currently gathering two professional gallery associations that represent nearly one hundred
galleries: Gremi de Galeries d’Art de Catalunya (Catalonia Gallery Union) and Art Barcelona.
They were established in order to reward relevant figures, projects and organizations for their
significant contribution to both art and gallery scene in Catalonia. The awards particularly
focus on those initiatives with an international impact and provide higher visibility to the
role art galleries carry out within the art system. G.A.C. Awards are aimed at national and
international galleries, collectors, critics, curators and artists and it count on a jury composed
of professionals from different fields.
Taking G.A.C. Awards as a starting point, this presentation will bring up issues such as: do
awards help strengthen the gallery sector? What are the benefits in the short and long run?
Which are the selection criteria? What is their actual impact on the media, the audience and
the market? What other awards are given in Europe? What are the common features with other
awards such as the F.E.A.G.A ones (Federation of European Art Gallery Associations)? What is
the position of the gallery community concerning this issue?
ramon Sicart

PANEL DISCUSSION
15:30 - 17:00h
MODERATOR: Sylvain levy
SPEAKERS: Maria Marques, Calum Sutton
The art world has undergone tremendous changes over the past 10 years, most of which driven by
unprecedented advances in technology that have in turn, created a completely new breed of art
consumers. Against this backdrop, it is vital for any new art “business” to establish a memorable
and distinctive identity/image in the shortest time possible. Given the enormous amount of
information available, this image needs to be very clearly distinguishable, and to become “a voice
above the noise”. Once this distinctive image has been created, the next step is to communicate
it to the target audience through the appropriate channels. It’s not much use having a wonderful
image if nobody knows about it.
This panel will attempt to bring to light key issues that commonly arise when dealing with
communications in the gallery daily basis practice, by posing questions and providing strategies
to build up a better positioning: Is branding a significant step forward to stand out and to
communicate one’s set of values? How can it be applied to galleries without becoming mere
’brands’? Is it brand content delivery a necessary evil to stand out and does it help to increase the
sales? How can small and mid-sized galleries position themselves in a crowded world with a clear
message, especially when aiming to reach new target collectors and to fulfill their demands? How
do online and offline communications co-exist for a gallery? Do we have to choose or what is the
perfect combination to carry out an optimal usage? What is the importance of building a social
network community and the impact of “word of mouth” in a digital world? Is gallery business still
based on personal human relationships more than anything else?
Sylvain levy
Contemporary Chinese art collector and visiting professor at the Shanghai University in charge of the Art
and Management Master. The Dslcollection, founded by Sylvain and Dominique Levy, is an art collection that
embraces the discovery, study and promotion of the Chinese contemporary artistic and cultural production,
be it paintings, sculpture, video art, installations or new media art. The key factors that differentiate the
Dslcollection are its unique acquisition policy and its use of the latest technology. Through technology, the
collection is able to achieve greater visibility, upon which to build a strong personality of its own. The ultimate
goal is to create a sustainable identity for the collection within the international art world, which is truly
distinctive and not tied to its founding members.
