What will culture be like in the next decade?

We explore the Serpentine Galleries’ new report into Future Art Ecosystems: with existing art industry models under threat, can new ones emerge in the post-coronavirus era? We talk to Ben Vickers, the Serpentine Galleries’ chief technology officer, about art and advanced technologies. As his BBC radio series Great Gallery Tours continues, we hear from a Simon Schama, who is marooned in Trump’s America yet yearns for a sunlit morning on the Thames in London: his choice for our Work of the Week is J.M.W. Turner’s Mortlake Terrace: Early Summer Morning in the Frick in New York. And as unemployment in the US surges past Great Depression-era levels, we look at a historic cultural programme that may have pointers for this moment: the Comprehensive Employment and Training Act or CETA, a response to the economic crisis of the 1970s.Links:The Art Newspaper: theartnewspaper.comThe Serpentine Galleries' Future Art Ecosystems report: https://www.serpentinegalleries.org/whats-on/future-art-ecosystems/Simon Schama's BBC radio series Great Gallery Tours: https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000kw4tTurner's Mortlake Terrace: Early Summer Morning: https://collections.frick.org/objects/267/mortlake-terrace-early-summer-morningCETA: ceta-arts.com Hosted on Acast.
