Welcome to Talking Points, our new segment that sheds light by amassing related articles on a single topic issue in the worlds of contemporary ceramic art and contemporary ceramics.
This week, our recommended reading list examines the new gallery landscape and how the traditional brick-and-mortar gallery model is giving way to more temporary and collaborative platforms. What does that effort look like? And, what does that means for gallerists and artists?
After reading, we invite you to open discussion in our comments section.
