Gallery Spaces Panel IV: Interdisciplinary Art – how becoming established?
The art market refers to the process of art distribution and sales. Museums, galleries, collectors, curators, critics are part of the active market participants influencing the dynamics. Artists to choose interdisciplinary approaches are in need of resources, display and active discourse with all industry participants to increase awareness, understanding and appreciation for interdisciplinary work. What is needed of all industry participants to propel interdisciplinary work to a representation established level? Art and science continuously discover common questions and modes of operation, resulting however in fundamental different outcomes. These differences create friction and great space for collaborations between disciplines.

The Future is Present” curated by Daniel López del Rincón and displaying works from the following artists: Brandon BALLENGÉE (US), Joaquín FARGAS (AR), Maja SMREKAR (SI) and the QUIMERA ROSA collective (+ Roger Rabbitch + Rebeca Paz) (ES) where they investigate the relationship between future, nature and the Anthropocene.
