      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Kendric Tonn

      1/ thread discussing art galleries by Kendric when I was writing Aristillus 1 & 2 I thought a lot about what retail spaces look like in the future ; the TLDR is that I think we'll have a lot less, but I think that we'll see _SOCIAL_ spaces grow.https://twitter.com/kendrictonn/status/1460354531217317890 …

      This is something I wonder about. I think galleries serve a solid role, and one important aspect of it--providing a place to physically see art--is not readily disrupted via the internet. https://twitter.com/clintavo/status/1460353478858051593 …

      2/ ...and this includes art galleries. Two arguments, one from supply, one from demand. On supply side, as other retail falls off (more stuff direct shipped from warehouses) there will be more unused former retail space available, so prices drop, making marginal uses plausible

      3/ on demand side, we keep getting richer, and rich people buy social experiences. Coffee houses are an example of this - it's not just about the coffee, but about the chance to be in public, to people watch, to be seen [ for those in to such things ].

      4/ I expect more income redistribution in the future :( and more leisure time - just continuing existing trends from the last 200 years. So: more social spaces...and galleries are a social space (or, rather, feature, that can be combined w other spaces).

      5/ problem w artists each doing their own outreach is that market aggregators service a function: they coordinate a two-sided market where acquiring patrons and vetting artists are both trickyhttps://twitter.com/coinaday1/status/1460355780738170882 …

      Replying to @kendrictonn
      I agree that somewhere in that range and above it's clearly viable. For high end sales like that, one sale can cover more than a month's expenses. On the other hand, lower end stuff can still be marketed by hobbyists and junior or retail professionals at more flea market style.

      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Michael Tew

      6/ well, re "no one", I counter this claim by pointing out that GALLERIES EXIST and people want to go to them but, that said, I agree that "primary an X, with art on the walls" is a big win here, and I called it out upthread - see #4https://twitter.com/OneMichaelTew/status/1460357215274119170 …

      Nobody wants to go to a "gallery." But people probably would really want to go to cool bars with amazing art.

      ⓘ Dogs don't have thumbs Retweeted Sporadic E

      7/ seems likely - the marginal cost to putting up a micro-gallery on a wall of an existing coffee house is close to zero, while the cost of spinning up a true dedicated gallery is much higherhttps://twitter.com/SporadicE5/status/1460358464144818183 …

      I’d guess that the low end of galleries will mostly be as described in the quoted tweet, while high end galleries will continue to look like galleries, perhaps with more events associated with them. But you’re probably about to say this.

      8/ I personally think that the big hurdle that galleries (and artists) have to overcome is the social one of "art is a thing that a normal person can buy". This is a bit tricky - everyone likes to spend money to do social signalling, but there's a truism that >>>

      9/ people don't signal that they're members of the group one above them by doing what the group one above them does - they signal by doing what they THINK the group one above them does artists and galleriests need a monopolist like deBeers to create aspirational advertising
