In collaboration with White Cube, the 2015-16 IESA talks programme, now in its fourth year, will focus on current trends and changes in the art world.

This discussion will focus on the role of commercial galleries in today's contemporary art world, looking at their strategies and role in the market. Over the course of the last years, the function of commercial galleries has evolved and is still rapidly changing, showing for instance an increasing support to  exhibitions and projects in public museums, rethinking the relationship with auction houses and, in the case of the bigger players, opening new outlets in different cities worldwide.

The panel will then consider the role of social media and how it has changed the art world, also raising new and debated copyright issues. Self promotion via social media channels has now become hugely popular and museums and institutions in general have been urged to rethink their marketing strategies to include social media activities for attracting larger public.
