Art Thinking

Interdisciplinary artist Marcos Lutyens and arts correspondent Jane Morris

The artist Marcos Lutyens explores big themes such as consciousness and emotion. He once performed 340 hypnosis sessions (at the major contemporary art showcase Documenta) and his multi-media piece Colour Therapy transferred weather data into visual experiences on three continents simultaneously. In this episode of Art Thinking, moderated at the 2024 Venice Biennale by Cultureshock’s editor-at-large Jane Morris, Lutyens tells Vadim Grigoryan how working with brands supports his ambitious practice. The discussion also takes in the long history of artists as businesspeople, and how companies can employ creativity in every facet of their work today. This week’s episode of Art Thinking was recorded at The Venice Art Biennale in 2024.  Produced by Cultureshock Enjoyed this episode?

Marc Spiegler, cultural strategist and former global director of Art Basel

Art Basel is about more than buying and selling art, says Marc Spiegler, its former global director. During his tenure, the art fair’s global editions became cultural moments, with artists and collectors rubbing shoulders with film stars, fashion designers and musicians. Since Spiegler stepped down in 2022, he has built a portfolio of global cultural-strategy projects. In episode seven of Art Thinking, he talks to Vadim Grigoryan about how to make artist collaborations credible and how Louis Vuitton, Chanel and others have got the equation right.
