Spectacle Magazine was founded by three young art industry professionals with backgrounds in art history and expertise in art business. Positioned at the crossroads of artistic production, art consultancy, galleries, and the exploration of new art trends by buyers, they conceived a platform to leverage their diverse experiences, thus giving rise to Spectacle Magazine.
Our aim is to expose collectors and art enthusiasts of all generations to artists we encounter. By combining insights from art business professionals and influential collectors we collaborate with, our directors aim to initiate a dialogue with both emerging and established artists. This dialogue will explore how the art market is evolving and where artists position themselves within these changes, defining the new SPECTACLE of the art world.
Discover how artist collectives and initiatives are challenging the art world through community-based art hubs, initiatives and galleries that actively support emerging talent. The magazine features weekly columns from contributors, artists' interviews, and curatorial insights, offering compelling gallery reviews and thought-provoking pieces.
