London's pivotal role in the future of Contemporary Art
A series of panel discussions organised by the IESA MA in the Contemporary Art Market with the White Cube Bermondsey to investigate how London became a pivotal cultural and commercial centre for contemporary art and what its future is or could be.
Each session explores different aspects of the London market: how London arrived at where it is today; how commercial galleries, museums and foundations and collectors assess London's future; the importance of London in relation to emerging markets; investment and the future.
Every evening will have eminent figures from different areas of the Contemporary Art world to join the panel for a lively and informal debate.
