Metis Art is partnering with Museum MACAN to support the commissioning of the performance artwork Sirkus di Tanah Pengasingan: Oyong-oyong Ayang-ayang (Shadows from the Land of Exiles) by Jumaadi and the Shadow Factory as part of the Voice Against Reason group exhibition. The course fees for our very first Tetrad programme in Jakarta will be entirely donated to the development of the performance.
As the Metis maxim goes, history is everything to the value of art. From ancient art to modernism and global contemporary art, we trace how major art movements were impacted by simultaneous developments in history, technology, philosophy and culture.
Your Destination:
Gain an in-depth understanding of the historical contexts that scaffold the development of art and its value in the world today. Draw cogent links between art and global or regional histories, society, and the cultures it emerges from.
Who’s who? Galleries, museums, non-profits, art fairs and auction houses fulfil both conflicting and complementary roles that shape the growth of artists’ careers. We make sense of their complex interactions that drive the world of contemporary art.
Your Destination:
Become acquainted with who key industry actors are, their roles in the art ecosystem, and determine their level of influence in how they define an artist’s career. Know how to evaluate artists’ CVs, which are often determinants of their works’ prices.
Now, let’s talk business. We get to grips with what value really means according to both art theorists and dealers — two sides of the same coin. We penetrate the often opaque ebbs and flows of the art market.
Your Destination:
Grasp what it means to be an emerging, mid-career, or blue chip artist, and identify the invisible primary and secondary market mechanisms that promote their value. See through the dark matter of art investments.
