What are metaphysical hermeneutics? How can we best 'decode' the absurd? Does art require a criteria? What are the metaphysics of advertising? If I see that a company can create the VERY GREATEST art. Surely that's the best and most impressive thing they can do? Beverage advertising is my very favourite. How do you advertise something you sip, drink or gulp? Any. Way. You. Want. When your brilliance is casual, fun, grandiose, amusing, elegant, boisterous - and a spectacle? And innovative? It is impossible to ignore. You have transcended and defied all. 'What am I advertising? At this level of mastery? Sublime brilliance. That's all. We're casually demonstrating our greatness.' If Radiohead can release an EP that's not an LP and their EP has 7 tracks that are better than any LP that year with 12 tracks. Then? If a brand releases an art exhibition or installation? Or puts on a concert? And it's worth everyone's endless attention, curiosity and fascination? Guess what they now associate with your brand. Everything wonderful. The key element is surprise. A cheeky surprise, a funny surprise, a safe surprise, a reassuring surprise, a comfortable surprise. When it comes to the spectacle there are many ways to engage with it and different stages to your participation in it. Noticing Staring Being entranced and hypnotised Pondering what you're seeing while you try to process it all Studying it to better understand what's going on and how it does what it does Finding out who the puppet master is. The Wizard of Oz Telling yourself it's not worth your time and that you have cooler stuff to do Being intrigued again, knowing you might never see it again Enjoying it with someone and wanting to validate aspects of your shared experience, perception and interpretation Decompressing from the experience and debriefing These are personal notes on the various stages, variously experienced by various groups/types of people when they see a spectacle. When your spectacle takes place somewhere iconic? Now it's much easier to stage an iconic spectacle. And you will want the very best photographers, painters, drawers, and visisual artists on hand to interpret it and manufacture pop art and timeless art. Right then and there. Stage a pop up ART HAPPENING. Or a pop up Da Vinci workshop. You're manufacturing popular culture and soft power and influence and brand worth in REAL TIME. In a luxurious tapestry. You must be efficient and effective about it. It's like you set up your spectacle. Then you set up your circus in 5 minutes and get to it. Media circus, your provocation, your fashion elements, and as many mixed media artists as you can afford. Then upload it all, send it to your graphic design person or the artists work it all. And you have branding, PR materials, low and high art and all kinds of art to share with the world. About how THIS was that THRILLA IN MANILLA or that Bigfoot Sighting. I always loved illy coffee. Now, even more! Congratulations!

As avid gallery-goers, we are always shocked and appalled to hear that people think of online galleries as being on a mission to replace the physical ones... Online galleries should not, and cannot, replace the physical exhibition space. We serve a different purpose. The reality is, there are not enough physical gallery spaces to show all the wonderful work that artists are creating. Online galleries are another outlet - an avenue to get more eyes on more art by more artists, and provide an opportunity to view art in a more commercial capacity than most physical exhibitions can (or care to) offer. We encourage all of our artists to leverage both physical and online showcasing to maximize their reach, both to the exhibition goers and those whom want to see art in a more commercial, approachable setting. #ArtMatch #SmallBusiness #CanadianBusiness #CanadianArtGallery

Antinomia, finissage today, October 3, at 6.30 pm, at Avantgarden Gallery, Milan. The Antinomia, my last exhibition ends after 4 months. It is an unpublished urban tale, made up of urban legends and creative destruction, an artivist, counter-trend and anti-commercial documentary, factors that have inevitably influenced my expressive language both on an aesthetic and poetic level, contributing and in some cases, anticipating the development of currents such as: post-graffitism, brandalism, postvandalism and antistyle. A contemporary story that has been celebrating fight and trasform the degradation of society as an aesthetic and cultural factor for over 30 years.

Art Basel Miami, the final major international art fair of the year, traditionally closes the public calendar for blue-chip art sales — though private deals often continue until year-end. This year, much like November’s pivotal New York auctions, top galleries reported strong sales, with high-quality artworks quickly selling at solid prices. After a cautious 2024 marked by restraint from both collectors and market players, recent weeks have shown a noticeable shift in sentiment. Could this be a promising sign for 2025? Regardless of market “mood,” we remain confident that top-tier works by globally established artists offer compelling risk-adjusted returns with limited downside risks. #diversification #bluechipart #artinvesting #artinvestment

The Australian Museum’s (AM) recent blockbuster exhibition Ramses and the Gold of the Pharaohs is among the most successful museum exhibitions in NSW history, both in terms of visitors and economic impact, according to a report prepared by Inform Economics. The report states that the exhibition attracted more than 508,000 visitors and contributed more than $57 million to the NSW economy. In addition, every $1 spent on delivering the Ramses exhibition returned benefits of more than $11 for the NSW community with a benefit-cost ratio (BCR) for the exhibition investment of 11.2. https://lnkd.in/gQv7m5Ah #museum #blockbuster #impact #exhibition

Museum Exhibition Design: Museums are revamping exhibition designs to meet challenges, with temporary exhibits focusing on cohesive themes for better engagement and incorporating virtual experiences. Permanent collections are being regularly refreshed for dynamic displays with new perspectives. Gallery Takeaway: Showcase artists' work through three to four themed annual exhibitions that resonate beyond the art world, creating buzz for your gallery and artists. Consider guest curators for support and present established artists in with alternative viewpoints to draw new buyers' interest.

Temporary thematic exhibitions are among the best examples of when virtual exhibition spaces are truly indispensable. These carefully curated displays often bring together masterpieces from museums and private collections across the globe. Organizing such exhibitions—especially on a large scale—requires tremendous effort from curators, and rightly so. They earn widespread acclaim from critics and captivate audiences with their brilliance. But here’s the challenge: they are fleeting. In just a few months, the exhibition ends. The artworks return to their respective homes, often not to be reunited for decades—or perhaps even centuries. A virtual exhibition offers a transformative solution. It faithfully replicates the physical experience of a temporary exhibition with one remarkable difference: it lasts forever. As long as there is someone eager to explore its masterpieces, the exhibition remains alive, defying the limits of time and geography. See it for yourself. Directly in your browser—no downloads, no apps required. The exhibition "Various Fairy Tales". 15 prominent contemporary artists, recognized in museums and private collections worldwide.

How we broke a world record and sent the World’s Largest Art Exhibition to space… Breaking records is exciting. Breaking records in space? Unforgettable. 🚀🎨 Send My Stuff to Space recently had the privilege of sending the world's largest art exhibition to the upper stratosphere. We launched a gallery of original pieces by talented artists, capturing their work 120,000 feet above Earth. This exhibition didn’t just set a new world record—it also changed the way we think about where art can go and how it can inspire. Realising this vision involved careful planning, precision engineering, and a unique approach to showcasing these pieces in an environment few have seen firsthand. By taking art to space, we didn’t just capture stunning footage—we created a moment that speaks to the limitless possibilities of creativity. The World’s Largest Art Exhibition, floating above the planet… what else can we take up there? www.sendmystufftospace.com #ArtInSpace #WorldRecordArt #BeyondEarthArt #StratosphereExhibition #InnovativeCreativity #SpaceGallery #WorldsLargestArtExhibition #WorldRecord
