東京藝術周為日本文化首都掀起序幕

<a href="https://parisplus.artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/2906/Galerie-Pietro-Spart%C3%A0">Pietro Spartà藝廊</a>是一個有趣的異類。藝廊的空間位於距離巴黎2小時車程的勃艮第郊野，周圍是葡萄園，被運河一分為二。此外，藝廊空間「極具象徵性地」脫離了藝術版圖，因為他們沒有任何的線上展示形式。同名創始人Spartà並不需要任何的修飾來吸引藝術家和收藏家。 Pietro Spartà是一個任性的實驗家，他了解自己所選擇的價值觀，是基於直覺、激情和社群的。

Spartà在法國沙尼（Chagny）的工人階級環境中成長，但他發現圍繞他成長的那些典型職業 &mdash;&mdash; 例如農業和工廠職業 &mdash;&mdash; 並不適合他。「我希望能有一些改變 &mdash;&mdash; 徹底的改變。雖然我愛我的家人，但我不想和他們一樣。」他說道。可是他也不想離開這裡。這位藝廊主的家鄉沒有文化氛圍 &mdash;&mdash; 他坦然承認這一切 &mdash;&mdash; 除了一家米其林星級餐廳。 Spartà自學成才，他通過書籍發現了藝術，並對彼特蒙德里安（Piet Mondrian）和<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/artist/7524/Kazimir-Malevich">卡濟米爾馬列維奇</a>（Kazimir Malevich）產生了特別的興趣。在書中，他瞭解到貧窮藝術（Arte Povera）、極簡主義（Minimalism）和觀念藝術家，並希望有朝一日可以與書中所記載的令人讚歎的藝術家們見面。他說：「我一定要在他們離世前見到他們。」他覺得自己的這種迫切期望很好笑。但對此的堅持卻十分真誠。「我想知道他們做了什麼，他們如何生活 &mdash;&mdash; 作為一名藝術家是什麼樣子。」

The sentiment is shared by Haitian-born artist Adler&nbsp;Guerrier, who has lived in Miami for more than 30 years, receiving a prominent solo show at PAMM in 2014, and who has also chosen Bakehouse for his studio. ‘Bakehouse is a microcosm,’ the artist says. ‘My relationship to my colleagues reverts around questions such as “how do we make better work; how do we get the word out; how does the local experience translate to the national or international scene?”’Guerrier&nbsp;also cites Miami-Dade County as an important patron for many artists in Miami. ‘They go out of their way to broaden the reach of artists’ commissions,’ he says, adding that he is proud to have recently unveiled a commissioned wall mural with photography installation at one of Miami-Dade’s public housing projects.

Although many Miami dealers say that the majority of their business takes place with clients and institutions outside of Florida, the positive effects of the pandemic migration are felt through the whole art ecosystem.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.artbasel.com/catalog/gallery/2957/David-Castillo" target="_blank">David Castillo</a>, one of Miami’s stalwart dealers, who represents&nbsp;Guerrier, says, ‘Naturally new collectors are playing an active role not only in acquiring works by my artists, but also in supporting local institutions through board memberships and donations of money and art.’Anthony Spinello, a curator and dealer who founded Spinello Projects 17 years ago and is now also located in Allapattah, agrees that the change has been positive. ‘Ironically, 2020 – during the peak of the COVID pandemic – was a game changer for my gallery.’ While ‘collectors from big cities looking for a tropical refuge settled in Miami, collectors who already live here and couldn’t travel outside of Miami discovered some diamonds in their own backyard, artists such as Reginald O’Neal, Jared McGriff, and Bernadette Despujols.’ Even though he is excited to be back in Art Basel Miami Beach this year, he says that moment ‘offered folks the opportunity to explore our local community and revealed the best of Miami’.

What’s magical about Miami is precisely the ‘eclecticism and diversity of artists from diverse backgrounds’, says Luisa Lignarolo, one half of the gallerist duo behind LnS, which was established alongside her husband, Sergio Cernuda, in 2017 with the mission to create a bigger platform for Miami-based artists. ‘There is a lot of momentum building, with all the new people that are moving down here; all eyes are on Miami,’ Lignarolo says. The gallery has sold works to collectors who have moved here in the last year from Berlin, Chicago, Boston, and San Francisco. ‘We’ve also met art consultants from New York who have recently relocated and are sourcing directly from Miami.’ While Miami has also been traditionally seasonal, that is changing too, Lignarolo says. For the opening of their summer group show ‘In the Company of Women’, which opened on July 15, soon after the Roe v. Wade decision was made, roughly 500 people were in attendance. That’s unheard of in hot and steamy Miami summers.

With all of these developments, Miami still has a long way to go, Snitzer says. ‘It is not enough to just be edgy and cool. The work needs to resonate.’ The city still lacks strong MFA programs, good graduate schools, and a strong academic scene that often cultivates artists that push the envelope. Miami-based artists don’t have that, and they often have to leave to get that richer experience of artists in Manhattan or Berlin, he says, adding that this problem has been widely discussed in institutional boards. Some unique places, however, have taken steps to address this. Spinello points to institutions like the Fountainhead artist residency, which ‘continue to build bridges globally’, as a significant initiative that enriches the local contemporary art scene.This article was originally commissioned for the Art Basel Miami Beach magazine 2022.
