Boundless Space: The Sotheby’s Experiment
from Burning Man LIVE Hosted by Stuart Mangrum, Kim Cook
Sotheby’s is exhibiting and auctioning the work of 180 artists from around the world inspired by Burning Man culture. More than a third are women, and more than a third are people of color. Sculptures, paintings and photographs, as well as experiences, mutant vehicles, and NFTs. It’s a collaboration and a collision. It’s an experiment with an institution historically known for overt commodification. It’s an appreciation of art based on intrinsic aesthetic value. It's a nod to artists. Stuart talks with Kim Cook, Director of Creative Initiatives for Burning Man Project, the bold lead on this partnership for advancing a values-based culture, and embracing the beastly art marketplace while being pro-artist, anti-racist, and taking not taking ourselves too seriously seriously. https://www.sothebys.com/en/digital-catalogues/boundless-space-the-possibilities-of-burning-man https://journal.burningman.org/boundlessspace/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNuj5XWFAK4 LIVE.BURNINGMAN.ORG
