Moderated by András Szántó
What will the visual art world look like in ten or twenty years? In a time of accelerating change—fueled by ongoing geopolitical and economic crises, shifting discourses and audience expectations, strained cultural funding systems and the implementation of artificial intelligence to name but a few parameters—arts institutions and markets are looking to adapt to new realities. But how?
Drawing on András Szántó's book The Future of the Art World: 38 Dialogues (2025), this talk will explore an art world in flux, posing new challenges for its institutions as they chart a path to the future.
