contemporary voices from the Artworld
Founded in 2018, ArTalkers.it is an art platform with a strong focus on interviews that brings together a plurality of voices – including artists, cultural practitioners and audiences – offering a direct and unfiltered resource for gaining an in-depth understanding of the complex and fragmented landscape of the present.
Artists, gallery owners, critics, collectors, consultants, journalists and bloggers: all the key figures within the art ecosystem contribute openly, sharing their reflections, viewpoints, information and first-hand accounts.
… not just interviews
Over the years, ArTalkers has expanded its editorial offerings to broaden its perspective on contemporary culture.
WorldwideTalkers brings together a selection of interviews with international artists in English (either in the original language or in translation).
HotList is the section dedicated to contemporary art exhibitions (four exhibitions every two weeks) that we are particularly keen to see, as well as exhibitions we have already visited and wish to share with our readers.
Spotlight on features individual contributors who report on encounters, exhibitions, fairs and artist profiles
